Our church has a long and storied history. In the year 1825 Cumberland Presbyterians first began to preach in this vicinity at what was then known as Huckelby's School House. Corby and McDowell were the preachers. The people worshiped in this school house and under a bush arbor until the 1828, when it was decided that a church house was needed. Cumberland Presbyterians together with the Baptists o
f the community built a substantial log house, with the understanding that it was to be free for all denominations to worship in. Therefore the name "Freedom" was given it, the deed for the ground was dated October 4, 1831. During the month of august in 1833 there was a great revival. There were 45 accessions to the church during this year. From 1833 until present, with probably 3 or 4 exceptions, there has been an annual revival meeting held at Freedom, embracing the 2nd Sunday in August every year. The annual services on the 2nd Sunday in August mean, to many, more than the beginning of a protracted meeting. it is the day when the sacrament of the Lord's Supper is administered. Every Christian present has the opportunity to testify to the death of the Savior. Many of our brethren and sisters from other communities come and join with us in these services. We extend the hand of Christian greeting and many rejoice in the hope that one day we will sit as one family around our Master's table in heaven with those gone before. Throughout its history our church has had a legacy of faithful members who continuously served the community through the proclamation of the Gospel with word and deed. The church is known for its generosity and willingness to help those in need. Today our members are committed to living up to the legacy of our forefathers. We welcome everyone to come and worship and serve with us.
