Freedom Church is a friendly, welcoming, and active congregation doctrinally definitive and conservative in our faith yet contemporary in flavor. Set just North of Cincinnati, Ohio we are a congregation of over 300 people we have been strategically placed in Sharonville, Ohio less than 20 minutes from Downtown. Freedom is known for its Biblical teaching, its enjoyment of multi-generational body life, its emphasis on lay ministry and its excitement for 'what's next in God's plan for us'. We believe it's not about a religion.....it's about a relationship!
