"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom"
We are a Bible based church in North Port, Florida. Freedom was started in 1991 by Frank Vargo, still our Senior Pastor. The name “Freedom” comes from 2 Corinthians 3:17, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
We strive to be free from man-made religion, man-made politics, and man-made philosophies. Our desire is to be a God-centered church, not man-centered.
What to Expect
Real People
We aren’t perfect and we don’t have all the answers. Our goal is to point to the One who does: Jesus. Whether you have been around church your entire life or this is your first time, you are welcome at Freedom!
Relaxed Atmosphere
When we look at Scripture, we see an emphasis on people, not on their clothing (James 2:1-9). We care about you, not the clothes you are wearing. If you like dressing casual, go ahead. If you prefer to wear a suit, then please do so. If you’re visiting , you won’t be singled out or asked to say anything – nor will you be asked to give financially.
Authentic Gatherings
We believe the Bible is the Word of God and is relevant today. Our Pastors preach practical messages and go verse by verse through a book of the Bible. The worship music is led by our band. We sing modern worship songs and traditional hymns set to a modern sound. You may have heard some of the songs we sing on the radio. Our goal is to serve Him well and honor God in everything we do.
Meet our Elders
Freedom Bible Church is led by Christ, who is the head of the church (Ephesians 1:22). Second, the church is self-governed, under the spiritual leadership of a plurality of Elders (1 Timothy 3:2). Freedom also has an Administrative Committee that consists of ministry leaders who have served for many years.
