Our Story & Mission
Rooted in Scripture. Moved by the Spirit. Called to restore.
Our Theme Scripture
"Let us rise up and build."— Nehemiah 2:18 (KJV)
Our Mission
Free to Worship Ministries exists to glorify God by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise. We are committed to preaching and teaching the whole counsel of God's Word, leading men, women, and children into a life of repentance, faith, holiness, and obedience to Jesus Christ.
"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him."
John 4:23 (KJV)
The Nehemiah Vision
"Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work."
— Nehemiah 2:18 (KJV)
Like Nehemiah, who saw the broken walls of Jerusalem and rose with boldness to rebuild, Free to Worship Ministries was born out of a vision to restore what has been broken — families, communities, and hearts.
We saw the brokenness around us — fractured families, discouraged believers, communities without hope — and we heard God's call to rise and rebuild. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we stepped out in faith to create a place of healing, worship, and genuine community.
Our ministry is not built on programs or performances, but on the presence of God. We believe that when people encounter Him in authentic worship, lives are transformed, families are restored, and communities are renewed.
What We Believe
We are a Spirit-filled, Bible-believing ministry that holds firmly to the authority of Scripture and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Our faith is grounded in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God
Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone
The Holy Spirit empowers believers for life and ministry
The Church is called to worship, disciple, and serve
Prayer is the foundation of all we do
Every person has dignity and worth as made in God's image
Our Core Values
These values shape everything we do and guide how we serve God and one another
Christ-Centered
Jesus Christ is the foundation of our faith, the message we proclaim, and the example we follow. Everything we do is to glorify Him and make Him known.
"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
1 Corinthians 3:11 (KJV)
Biblical Truth
We believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. It is our final authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living.
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
Psalm 119:105 (KJV)
Holiness Without Compromise
We are called to live lives that reflect God's holiness in our character, conduct, and lifestyle through the power of the Holy Spirit.
"Be ye holy; for I am holy."
1 Peter 1:15–16 (KJV)
Spirit-Filled Living
We believe that the promise of the Holy Ghost is for every believer. We encourage every person to seek the infilling of the Holy Ghost and to live daily under His power and direction. As we are led by the Spirit, God transforms our character, empowers our witness, strengthens our faith, and equips us to fulfill His divine purpose.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." — Acts 2:38 (KJV)
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." — Romans 8:14 (KJV)
Acts 2:38–39 · Romans 8:14
Prayer
Prayer is the heartbeat of our ministry. We believe God hears and answers prayer, provides wisdom, and accomplishes His will through a praying Church.
"Men ought always to pray, and not to faint."
Luke 18:1 (KJV)
Worship
We believe worship is more than music — it is a lifestyle of surrender, reverence, obedience, and love for God in spirit and in truth.
"The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth."
John 4:23 (KJV)
Discipleship
We are committed to making disciples by teaching God's Word, encouraging spiritual growth, and equipping believers to faithfully follow Jesus Christ.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations."
Matthew 28:19–20 (KJV)
Compassion
We seek to reflect the love of Christ by serving others with mercy, kindness, and humility — restoring hope and ministering to individuals, families, and communities.
"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
Galatians 6:2 (KJV)
Kingdom Building
Like Nehemiah, we are called to rise up and build — rebuilding lives, strengthening families, equipping leaders, and advancing the Kingdom of God.
"Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work."
Nehemiah 2:18 (KJV)
Excellence
We believe that every act of service should honor God. We strive to serve with integrity, faithfulness, humility, and excellence, giving Him our very best.
"Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men."
Colossians 3:23 (KJV)
Worship Freely. Live Boldly. Serve Faithfully.
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)
