First, thank you! Thank you for taking the time to learn about this project. Thank you for giving the Holy Spirit the opportunity to speak to you on what role he is asking you to play in seeing Liberty County changed forever. God is doing amazing things through Freedom Church and we know this is only the beginning. We want you to be a part!

When you look through the Bible, you see moment after moment where God does amazing and miraculous things. While we know God is the power behind those amazing things, he always involves people in the process. It is something that moves me about God: he wants us involved in his plan to see humanity restored.

For some of us it means a lifetime of service in vocational ministry. For others, it is outside the four walls. For others still, God is calling you to move the Kingdom financially. ALL are important! Whatever your role, I want to say thank you for being willing to let God use you to help make the miraculous happen.

Monique and I are so grateful for you, your support, and we ask you continue to pray with us as we fulfill this mission to see Liberty County changed for eternity. God bless you!

PHASE 2

At the end of 2024, we were able to complete a 7550 square-foot building, Phase 1, which serves us now as a 284 seat sanctuary. We never could’ve imagined in only nine months after opening this $450,000 facility that we would already be out of room, but we’ve gone from 225 people in January 2025 to over 500 across three services by November 2025. Truth is, we ran out of room so fast that it has necessitated another facility.

Phase 2 is a 15,000 square-foot worship center that will not only allow us to open with 450 seats that we could expand to 800, it creates additional room for a production studio, nursing mothers room, and two meeting rooms. This new facility will also allow us to convert our existing sanctuary into additional kids ministry space that we desperately need right now.

We are looking to raise at least $750,000.

For a sanctuary this size, the average costs per square foot in the United States is $300. $300 x 15,000 is $4.5 million. We know of two other churches who completed 16,000 sq ft facilities that were over $6 million. We are doing it here for an estimated $80 per sq ft. The Bible commands that we be good stewards of what God gives. We believe this is evidence that we are doing our best to steward well. Based on hard quotes from contractors and vendors and estimated costs based on the fact we just did this, we are estimating Phase 2 to cost around $1.2 million, which is not only an insanely low cost, but very doable based on our last buildout.

We’ve had over 97 people lift their hands this year alone (2026) to make a decision for Jesus. We have kid’s ministry classes that are bursting at the seams. Our Alpha class is literally packed into Building 1 every Sunday. The truth is, we need space, we need to make room.

We are looking to raise at least $750,000 for this project which will ease the monthly mortgage burden one we finish the buildout.

Interestingly enough, the church is the only place where a dollar can turn into a soul. We are working hard to be good and productive ground. Our growth, the decisions, the life change, this is evidence of God being in this.

We are not asking you to give to a campaign. We are asking you to stir your faith and give towards lives being changed for eternity.

God is moving and we want to always have a yes in our hearts for whatever God wants to do next. This isn’t about buildings. It is about needing space.

We are simply making room to see God do even more.

Truth is, I never imagined we’d be here in less than 5 years. But dream with me. Believe with me. Let’s see what else God wants to accomplish on this 12 and a half acres in Liberty Texas.

PARKING

The first thing we are going to tackle is parking. Once we break ground the day after Easter, we will lose 1/3 of our existing parking. In order to alleviate parking issues going forward, we will create a 2 1/2 acre asphalt parking lot on the back of our property. Parking will still be available in the front, but a secondary entrance in the back will be uti, which is already going to be a welcomed feature based on the fact that we currently have parking issues. We hope to have this parking lot completed by Easter Sunday.

BUILDOUT

Our plan is to break ground the day after Easter, which will allow our concrete and plumbing experts to finish the job by the end of April, which is when the building will be delivered. At that point, TDH erectors out of Livingston will start the process of building the shell. This includes the frame, roof, sheet metal sides, and insulation. Once they are finished, we will start the process of building out the rooms, walls, etc. in the sanctuary area. Once we get the sanctuary built and a certificate of occupancy in hand, we will focus on, the existing sanctuary in order to renovate it for additional kid’s ministry classes.

COMPLETION

We would love to be able to start using the new sanctuary sometime mid-fall, but we expect completion to be end of 2026, and at the latest, January 2027. All of this depends on the variety of factors from contractor availability to potential setbacks or issues that need mitigation, engineering, and permits to whether related issues. No matter what, we believe God is in this and no matter what he will see us through!
