THE FREEDOM CHURCH STORY

Freedom Church is a Bible-believing, spirit-filled, Kingdom-focused church. They
are physically located in the heart of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex but impact
members throughout the country. The Lead Pastor, Robert White, started
Freedom Church (formerly Cornerstone Church North) to see people come to know
Christ and live fully and completely in the life they were created to have. After
being sent out and blessed by his pastor and overseer, Pastor William Dwight
McKissic, Robert, and a faithful group of people launched Freedom Church on
February 10th, 2013, in Bedford, TX.

The first service held at the Old Bedford Library had 213 adults and 35 kids in
attendance and 13 people gave their lives to Christ! After a few months of meeting
at the Old Bedford Library, Freedom began meeting at the Bedford Boys Ranch
and continued to meet there for two and a half years. On September 13th, 2015,
Freedom Church moved into its current location where it began to see its first true
signs of growth and life, going from an average attendance of 65 to 125. By 2020,
Freedom Church was running two experiences and seeing over 400 people in
attendance weekly. After the pandemic, Freedom has recovered and is again
running its pre-COVID numbers.

Today, Freedom is in a season of momentum and excitement. They are looking for
dynamic leaders who want to be a part of building what God has started and will
undoubtedly complete. They are in a prime position to grow spiritually, numerically,
and financially. They are also looking for their first permanent location/campus.
The mission of Freedom Church is to move people into Freedom through the love
and power of Jesus Christ! The heart of Freedom Church revolves around three
key words FAITH, FAMILY, and FORWARD. They believe it is their call to transform
the communities around them as they are changed by God from the inside out. In
other words, “We Live Faith Forward!”
