Freedom School of Ministry

A Note from our Pastors

Emily and I have had a dream of raising up healthy leaders and pouring into this next generation for years. We know it’s time to release this resource in our church culture. We are a church and people of His presence! Our church has adopted a simple vision statement, “Encountering Jesus, Transforming People.” This is what we live by at Freedom.

Freedom School of Ministry is a school for leadership and ministry that focuses on training people in identity, lifestyle, worship, revival, impartation and Biblical teaching.

We will encounter Him through times in His presence, but we will not just stop there. We will be transformed through His Word, inspiring curriculum, worship moments, live teaching from our pastoral team, and guest speakers.

We invite you to join us on this exciting journey of becoming all He has called us to be!
