Live. Love. Choose.
Freedom Christian Bible Fellowship, originally known as "Freedom Baptist Church", was founded in February of 1973 in the home of George and Pauline Patterson with 11 members. Later that same year, the congregation purchased a building at 4500 Westminster Avenue. Rev. Gilbert Coleman, Jr. was invited to preach and after some time was installed as pastor of the Freedom Baptist Church on November 4, 1984. A change came when the Lord began to lead and instruct the Pastor Gilbert Coleman, Jr. to separate from the Baptist reformation to become a non-denominational church, officially renaming the church: Freedom Christian Bible Fellowship on October 15, 1989.
Throughout the ensuing years, the church membership would grow exponentially, which prompted the church to move their services to the E. Spencer Miller School and increased to two services on Sundays. Freedom then moved to a space on the top floor of 5070 Parkside Avenue in the Philadelphia Business and Technology Center, and finally purchased the church building, located at 6100 W. Columbia Avenue, which is our current home.
