As a spiritual leader of New Freedom Ministries and one of the Pastors I keep my focus on Christ for preaching and ministering! The people here are my family and are valuable to me and to the work of Christ! I have always felt welcomed in and hope others do too! I always believe in leading with prayer & encouragement, not condemnation! It's all about Jesus!

Staff

Angel Welch, Outreach Director at New Freedom Ministries
Angel Welch
Outreach Director

My heart is to serve people in need. To meet people where they are, let them know that they are seen and loved by God. To help and assist our pastors and leadership team. To support our members as they step into their calling. Develop and oversee local and state service projects, such as food pantries, back-to-school projects, church cleanups, community projects, street ministry, jail and prison.

Hannah Burton, Children's Minister at New Freedom Ministries
Hannah Burton
Children's Minister

I have been a part of New Freedom Ministries for three years now, and God has changed my life here. I'm a mother of four children and know the importance of raising up the next generation of kingdom builders. I believe that children should be taught at a young age, their identity in Christ and the authority they hold as a child of God. That they are not just another face in God's eyes. That they are called, chosen, and immensely loved. Prayer is a massive part of this ministry, and every child is covered in it from the moment they walk through the doors. It's an honor to serve you and your family. I personally hope to see you soon! Much love.

Brian Bush, Technology Director at New Freedom Ministries
Brian Bush
Technology Director

I keep the technology running behind the scenes — sound booth, stage screens, website, network, and office systems — so our church can focus on worship and ministry. It's my way of helping the message of Jesus reach further.
