Leadership

Leadership & Governance

Freedom Centre International Church is led through biblical authority, spiritual order, and accountable governance. Leadership here exists to serve, guide, and protect—forming believers into maturity through the Word.

Formation Before Function

Our Leadership Philosophy

Leadership at Freedom Centre is not driven by popularity, gifting alone, or performance. We believe leadership must be governed by Scripture, formed through discipline, exercised with humility, and accountable within structure.

A governing principle:

Formation precedes function. No one leads without doctrinal grounding, demonstrated maturity, willing submission to authority, and proven faithfulness over time.
