Our Church
Freedom House is an apostolic center that empowers and commissions individuals to do the works of Jesus as we allow Him to transform us in to His image.
We desire to be a people who host the presence of God to see His visitation of revival and reformation in our city and our nation and to see His glory manifested through signs, wonders and miracles as a result of His Kingdom coming into our midst. We desire to be a beacon of hope to those who don’t know God and to shine the light of His love and truth into our community and nation. We desire to help those who are oppressed achieve victory in Christ and empower them to walk in the fullness of their blessing.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help you achieve the fullness of your God given destiny. It is our desire to pursue the presence of God in order to see His visitation of revival and reformation in our city and our nation. We desire to see the glory of God manifested through signs, wonders and miracles as a result of His Kingdom coming into our midst. (Acts 3:19-21, Psalm 85:9-13)
We acknowledge that we as Gentile believers have received our heritage from God’s chosen people Israel. It is our desire to embrace Israel as our root and be aligned with Jewish believers to become one new man built on the foundation of apostle and prophet. (Romans 11:17-18, Ephesians 2:20; 3:5-6)
We desire to be a beacon of hope to those who do not know God and to shine the light of His love and truth throughout our community and into the uttermost part of the earth. We desire to help those who are oppressed achieve victory in Christ and empower them to walk in blessing.
