Best church I ever been too! I’ve learned so much by attending Bible college, here is where I learned what it’s like to truly have a relationship with God. I love the family groups, they’re a lot of fun.

Do not visit here unless you are ok with THREATENING manner that makes you feel super guilty and super sinner! This is hispanic verson of Joel Austin church where you will be blessed only when you don't skip church and tithing. Pator should not be super rich but this church's pator and his wife is just NOT healthy leader. They will brain wash you and let your brain worship them, over our heavenly father. Period.

Life wasn't easy for me and I can imagine the same for you. I'm going to highlight what the Lord has done in my life. I do want to share that right now I'm thinking about all the times I was out In the streets, I think back on how I was up to no good, I think back on how I was in pain, I was smoked out, I was living life with no real purpose. I came to a point where I hated GOD and I didn't want anything to do with him. I thought I had made it without him. This thinking changed when I stepped into freedom city church. It didn't start right away but the class of lifestyle of freedom and the senior pastor preaching on Sunday services, helped me get rid of pride, anger, and the desire for things that were holding me back from being right with god. Coming to this church and the leaders here helped me get closer to GOD. I can say that now I'm reading my Bible, praying, and able to do this on my own because of the help I received. Thank you, lord, glory to god!

Prior attending Freedom City Church I become the #1 realtor at my board of realtors however it came at a cost to my health. For my peers, I achieved success. Little did they know or my family know I was stressed, worried, anxious about my business and life. The more money I made the more I was stressed. Most would never noticed it because I hid it very well. In 2016 I started to loose my vision and at times I couldn't walk up stairs or ride a bike because too much pain in my legs as a result of developing a sever case of diabetes. I've been attending Freedom City Church since 2018. In 2019, I started to get a word from God on the purpose of my business. In 2020, I no longer have diabetes, my vision is back to normal, my body has been restored, health is better than ever. God, Jesus, Pastor Jason and Liz including the leadership at Freedom City Church has changed my life. I am no longer living stressed out or living in fear. I've learned to trust God in my business and I have priorities in my life to live a balanced life. While taking a business class at Freedom I've learned that God wants to bless me without living stressed so I can bless others. In 2020 during my prayer time God had me start up another business as a mortgage broker. I quickly grew my business by working with 200 realtors in California. In November I decided to expand into new markets in Texas. I am now working with 300 realtors and the business continues to grow. Ive learned how important it is to spend time with God and praying in his Word that has allowed me to increase my capacity to managing my emotions. I work at another level with joy and not with fear or feeling stressed or anxious but with the attitude of gratitude. I have more clarity and understanding of my purpose in life. I believe my leadership skills has improved over the last few years as God continues to be there guiding me each step of the way. This has helped me, help others at a higher level. I'm living my dream to be blessed to be a blessing to others. The Bible says Genesis 12:2 NKJVI will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.I believe this has allowed others around me to increase their ability, capacity and confidence in themselves. To me that's the best part of freedom seeing peoples lives changed and come higher. They are making more money faster than ever before and that's a testament to Gods glory working in my life and my business to help others succeed.

Freedom City Church saved my life!! I don't know where I would be without Freedom, before coming to freedom I was a 38 year old gang member. I never thought I would leave that life, it was all I knew . I started my criminal career at a very young age, getting arrested going in and out the system. When I turned 18 I went straight to prison, when I got released I was seated at the table and was given the keys for multiple areas, I was in charged day to day operations. I was addicted to alcohol and many other drugs my whole life! Then one day I walked in to Freedom, not knowing I would be here every Sunday never missing not even once! I got hit with the power of God and my life has NEVER been the same. God used pastor Jason to captivate his church and press in to what we call the vision. Here at Freedom I have learned how to be a husband, father, friend and a leader for Christ! I thank God for Freedom city church.

Freedom city church has truly impacted my life. I started attending freedom during Covid. After joining lifestyle of freedom a 12 week class of studying how Jesus has set me free truly got me planted & taught me that I don't have to live in bondage or depression because Jesus has already won the victory.

Freedom has changed my life in so many ways. The church has showed me that i am wanted, loved, and God has a plan and purpose for my life. The praise and worship is really powerful and you can really see how much people care at Freedom. Anybody who is greeting you has huge smiles on their faces which really creates a positive and welcoming atmosphere.

They don't read the word in this church or in the groups. They stress on being a leader, holding groups in your home and tithing.Worship is more like a concert. If you're a leader and your group is not growing or say you want to take a vacation, they will shame you for it because it has to be about the church.There's no reading of the word in groups either. It's just talking and watching a video with the pastor and his wife. No reading the Bible.Alot of the leaders have left that church.

Please read this slowly and carefully. I pray this review helps the lost find the path towards a "Christ Like" type of Life. Please always, and I mean "Always" READ YOUR BIBLE and don't let any Man or woman read it for you. If you do this and seek God in prayer you will never miss his instructions and will always have the Holy Spirit power to see right through anything and anyone. NOW! This is the 3rd time am writing this review, and the last and final time. I attended Freedom City Church with my Wife and Kids, Mom & Dad, Sister and Niece. My wife and kids all attended a different church now. My mom and dad went their own way to a Spanish church and my sister and niece went back into the world. And my son who God used I think he attends a church whenever possible. Why do I bring this up first? Because I finally realized that God used Freedom City church to bring me to him. And it couldn't have been any other church. It was perfect for the current heart condition and season I was in at that time, all glory to God. Am so grateful that God gave me the wisdom to open the door to my lord Jesus Christ at that perfect moment in time, and in that season. The comments I left before haunt me, and the comments I now read below and above me saddened me. You see, I did endure a lot of different trials at this church, no one is perfect, and please know right now that you will never find a perfect church. God allows certain trials in order to purify our hearts, there is no other way around that. (Book of Job) There is so many stories I have heard from so many different people in regards to the trials they endured at Freedom City Church, but in the end, when I think of the way I feel "Now" versus how they "Still" feel, the outcome is always that I have always put God first, right from the start, I take no credit for that. (Romans 3:10-12)And what ever I endured, I now see the reasons why, and let me tell you, am so grateful for the opportunity to grow so much in such a short time, this church is 50/50 amazing lessons and hardships, all Glory to God. And that's the only reason why I feel God didn't allow anyone to hurt me, because I knew his word, because I submitted to Jesus first before submitting to a "Man" Am not saying I didn't listen to authority, am just saying that when it didn't align with Gods word I knew and could not be told differently. You must always live for God and God only. If you do something like give money or your time, you must do it for Jesus! Never feel obligated or pressured into any activity in anything related to "Church" instead allow your "Relationship" with Christ to lead your heart in all that you decide to do, and in all that you allow others to do to you. If you do things for the wrong reasons you will end up getting hurt. You must always submit to Jesus! And leave the world behind, study his word and do what he directly tells you to do. I learned something so valuable about churches in the last 3 years and 5 churches later. That...."If a church worships the Pastor, it's probably a Cult, but if they worship Jesus Christ and read his word in full context" that's a church worth the trials and growing pains. Always study your Bible so that you will always know the truth! Because the Truth shall set you free. (John 8:38)If you need anything please reach out, my socials are joeyluvsjesuss on IG or Tik Tok. God bless you all and remember, Bible and Prayer! 24/7.... That's your Armor! Thank you to everyone God used at Freedom City Church to bring me to this point in my love for Jesus Christ, yes I would do it all over again and recommend everyone to plant themselves and their families into a Church! But only with a "Read Bible" in your Hands. Good luck.. see you in Heaven.

I went here for years, until my kids felt pushed away from God as they continued Bible college and also the loudness hurts our ears; even with ear plugs. The church education & teaching is great & is all Biblically based. Aside from the loudness, there were a few things that I didn't like. I was told by my leader not to watch other pastors' messages not endorsed by the church; and when I shared them with the group chat, was told to remove them. I was also told not to read 'The life of Christ', which was a book from the 1800s and showed how Jesus lived and what living in Jesus' time was like. It was one of the best books I've read that isn't the Bible. I also was not very happy with things my kids would tell me. I did have them do lifestyle of freedom (LOF), Bible college, & they went to the Friday night teen service; but some of the special speakers and the loud facility drew them away from God instead of closer to God. My kids are very quiet, shy & reserved. It doesn't fit their personality. When I was there, I felt close to God, my soul was fulfilled here. The Holy Spirit was reawakened most every time I went (sermons, learning, & group studies). I truly believe it is much like the church in Acts. But it IS extreme. Strictly from the Bible & Jesus is exalted! Night of Terror (but warn it is a REAL LIFE EXPOSURE OF SOME OF THE EVILS OF THIS WORLD (but no worse than movies, shows or social media). It will open your eyes! LOF frees your soul from the ties that bind you to the sin of your past; you will feel the anointing. I will say I almost quit going to this church after a few weeks ; I read the reviews & it was too LOUD; but decided to stick with it because I felt God's presence & it is something I have to determine for myself; not rely on people I know nothing about. Bible college was amazing & I learned more about what's in the Bible than I have in my 40 years at other churches. This church celebrates tithing & offerings. I want to make CLEAR it is specified often that this *MUST come from th heart; they don't want your money unless it is a gift from your heart* to use for the good of God & fulfilling the goals to save souls. This church is organized to save as many souls as they can; a secular view of it is what causes people to scream cult. If you want to be a leader, you do need to tithe your 10%. Leaders are supposed to understand the importance of the tithe. I'd tithe & get a monetary blessing out of the blue for 10 times what I'd given many times. That is for you to figure out. In Malachi, we are challenged with money and giving, and told we would be rewarded tenfold; and the Bible's words always came to fulfillment in the area of tithing for me personally. Many of the reviews do point out there is a big emphasis on the tithe & many feel compelled to give more than they should. Many people call this church a cult; it is NOT, however they do goto the extreme of how the church is described in Acts. And I have some reservations about the group rehab homes; however I have never had an addiction or been in a gang, so I'm not one to really know what's needed to break free from those strongholds. I left the church easily; no one chased, forced, scared or scolded me, or told me I'd goto hell for leaving. The rehab homes for 18+ and it shakes people up. They run it like military, & remove secular comforts to transform people into what the Bible portrays Christian life as. I don't like how they don't give some pay to the volunteers though; or allow them to earn their costs of living there. It's intense and NOT for everyone. But if you have a teen addicted to drugs or getting into bad things, this may be exactly what will help them turn their life around & break free. International school of ministry is a deep dive into the Bible & puts you actively into the word & helps you dedicate many hours to the Bible's words. Yes, this church is very passionate

UPDATE: I went to the July 4th celebration (6 p.m.) a few months back (2023). I was WRONG about this church. There's strong evidence of the Gospel being taught. Many, many young people & families praising the Lord. The Pastor gave his testimony, which was powerful, and when he had the alter call, 100's of people went up to give their lives to Jesus. ... then lots got baptized after. Beautiful. Again, I was wrong about this church. Sorry. Strong worship & teaching of the Gospel with many people accepting Christ as their Savior. The fireworks were great. Overall, I had a wonderful few hours with a friendly crowd. The costs, $15, kids free.

First off, I've never heard of a church that produces so much church hurt. The way this place is ran is designed to worship the head pastor, Jason. This man is idolized and by having an educational background in psychology, he really knows how to psychologically engage and convince his audience to believe his views. As a prosperity gospel preaching church, the teachings are invalid.What this place teaches and brainwashes you to believe...1. The only way to prosper in life is to tithe and give offerings, this church requires it's members to empty their pockets even when your financially unstable. 2. They teach you that if you serve 5-7 days a week, 40+ hours a week, you will be blessed..... in fact I was cursed doing this, they brainwash everyone to "serve" in order to "expand the kingdom"..... what is really happening is that everyone's "expanding Jason's pocket". - he has purchased mansions for millionaire pastors around the world yet won't provide water to the members who serve.- on Sunday's, every member is required to serve, starting at 6:30 am upwards to 11 PM. No food, no snacks, no water... you must purchase over priced goods instead. 3. They enlist the young into the "training center" where nobody can visit their family or friends without an accountability partner being present... meaning YOU CANT ever go to functions without somebody stalking you.4. You cannot date without approval from a "leader"5. Men and women can't talk without a third person being in the conversation.6. You must dress a certain way and talk a certain way.7. Spiritual abuse is thriving here8. Freedom of will is a hoax in this placeI can go on and on but the last thing I'm going to say isPray for this place and STAY AWAY, it took me a year to heal from the brainwashing propaganda that was engrained in my mind... Going to a healthy church after leaving "freedom" has helped me receive TRUE FREEDOM.John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.The spirit of manipulation, oppression, pride, greed, control, and fear are just a few witchcraft spirits flooding this place.PLEASE BE AWARE God bless you all It is For freedom that Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. - Galatians 5:1*** if you need help finding a healthy church, please feel free to contact me***

I'm from a Christian family, Im a member of Calvary Chapel with pastor Jack Hibbs and another church. I was in the area, and I was curious about this church. I read the reviews before I came to visit but I thought "these people probably don't know Jesus or maybe they're just over exaggerating" the moment I was about step foot in the church I was greeted by couple members. They all wanted me to fill out an information card and go to their Bible study group. The first person I was greeted, the way he spoke he seemed brainwashed but I was probably just over thinking. I filled out the card anyways and talked a bit. But no, I talked to other leaders, we were talking about the bible. And they did not know anything about the bible! They were so surprise of how knowledgeable I knew about the bible. If you're a leader, you should know about the Bible.When I enter the church, I did not feel holy, no one had a Bible in the hand. Everybody have a sheet of the Bible verses we're going to learn. I didn't feel like I learned anything but just about life and health. Like other said, and they show different special guest of pastors that will preach and you would have to pay to see the services. This church, I felt like I was in the night club.The end of the service, pastor asked if anyone is trying to take the walk with god, or start a relationship with god raise ur hand. We all raised our hands, and all the people who raised their hands they take u to another room. I said "okay?" And right away they started saying the next steps of having a relationship with god is baptism. And there's a group of leaders who comes up to all the people and trying to talk about their other programs that you would have to pay and invite you to their Bible study group. And the other members were making sure the leaders were ontop of us to become members of the church.I was just mind blown, how much they were just ontop of things. I gave my number to couple of members before hand, and wow. They're just blowing me with text messages and phone calls!I did not feel the Holy Spirit in this church. I felt like I was in a night club, members trying to grow their Bible study groups, not knowledgeable about the Bible, 1.5 hour of warship and 20 mins of sermon.Brothers and sisters, someone who's been going to different churches and learn about different branches of Christianity, this is not a real Christian church. Did not feel the Holy Spirit.
