We are thrilled that Allen will be joining us!

***UPDATE.*** We are pleased to announce that Allen Jackson, pastor of World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, will be our guest speaker at our annual Freedom Fest celebration at Rock Creek Park on July 3. Allen is a faithful and forthright man of God whose plainspoken teaching and bold leadership impact innumerable souls in all fifty states and in a number of foreign countries as well.

We thank God for Allen’s availability to Christ and His kingdom and invite you to learn more about Allen and his ministry at allenjackson.com. We’re confident you will be glad you did.

Allen’s message plus all the other blessings of the night—our multi-Church worship band; collective prayer; the food trucks; the Firecracker Alley children’s area featuring games, inflatables, face painting, balloon artists, and FREE cotton candy; and the epic fireworks show that caps the night—promise to make this a night that moves the needle in our community because it moves us nearer to the Lord. Can’t wait!

***URGENT PRAYER NEEDED.*** We are asking for all concerned residents of Lewisburg—women and men and youth and children of any age—to join us in a special time of prayer this Friday morning, August 16, at 7 am at the main pavilion at Rock Creek Park. At this time we will be praying for Bam Haislip, for the Lewisburg city council, and for the general spiritual, emotional, and financial health of the city of Lewisburg.

We sincerely hope you will attend and join your prayers to those of everyone else who attends.

God will hear and answer.

Freedom Fest 2024, as it has every year of its history, exceeded all expectations.

Beautiful children laughed and played.
Sincere worshipers praised and prayed. Grateful citizens rejoiced and sang.
Absolutely everyone sweltered and sweated.
And Almighty God moved and blessed.

We owe a special debt of gratitude to all of the following groups and individuals whose God-given talents and inexhaustible commitment helped make the night so, so good.

(1) Stacey David, host of GearzTV, for speaking and for bringing his custom-built military tribute vehicle (Sgt. Rock) with him

(2) Will Luttrell and the staff of East Commerce Automotive, for delivering and returning Sgt. Rock safely and securely

(3) Anna Pearson, musician and songwriter, for filling Rock Creek Park with the sweet sounds of worship and praise

(4) Koley Borah, Brandie Liggett, and Faith Young, who delighted children by painting their faces

(5) Farmington Baptist Church and East Commerce Baptist Church, who created and ran our Firecracker Alley games with joy

(6) Other Firecracker Alley volunteers who showed extraordinary patience while attending to the children in the bounce houses

(7) Destiny Church - Lewisburg, who generously provided 1400 FREE bottles of water to thirsty attendees on a searingly hot day

(8) Lewisburg First Assembly, who allowed us to use their large TVs and their box truck

(9) Our Tuesday prep and cleanup crew, who made Rock Creek Park (especially the stage area) sparkle and shine

(10) The SWISH homeschool group and EPIC Student Ministries , who handled trash and cleanup duties during and after the event

(11) The Lewisburg Fire Department and Lewisburg Police Department, whose presence reassured hearts and quite possibly saved lives

(12) Shelbyville Record Shop, whose sound system and expertise sent the sound of Freedom Fest deep into our city

(13) Dylan Giddens, who provided critical lighting for our stage

(14) Volunteers in our medical tent and prayer tent, who served others compassionately and confidentially
