Letter from Pastor Josiah

Dear Intern,

Right now, you are in one of the greatest seasons of your life, a season where lasting relationships and life goals are being formed. You are in a season of making decisions that will form your future and destiny. It is in this season where you must be part of that for which Christ Jesus has laid hold of you, so that you can begin to live a dream--bigger than yourself.

It is our desire at FreedomHouse to bring that dream to pass in your life. I want you to prayerfully consider becoming a part of one of the greatest movements to sweep the North Orange County Region and surrounding communities, and be part of the FreedomHouse Fall internship. Where you will discover your ministry, vision, destiny and God sized potential, to fulfill God’s purpose for your life!

If you’re ready to start making a difference and you’re serious about seeing the Kingdom of God being established. Then our FreedomHouse Internship Program could be your next step. Check it out, pray about it and let us know when you’re ready. You’re greatest days are ahead of you!

_{Internship Program Overview}

FreedomHouse Church is a rapidly growing, dynamic, relevant church with a Mission “To Change our World, One Life at Time”, a Vision “to Create a church people want to come to” with a Purpose “To raise up a generation after the heart of God, who will do ALL His will.”

Our FreedomHouse Internship Program is designed to give participants ministry experience, as well as a glimpse of the life of ministry. Participants will gain valuable experience while working alongside FreedomHouse Staff Members. Internship positions are available this Summer of 2015.

FreedomHouse Church was opened on August 10, 2008, as a new church plant. Our name “FreedomHouse” originated from the fact that our church literally started in the home of Pastors’ Josiah and Marie. After much prayer, Pastor Josiah and Marie felt the call of God to begin a church, so they opened the doors of their home together with 7 people. The message was simple “Nothing is Impossible for God.” Sure enough, nothing was. From day one people from all walks of life began to gather. Today, through the power of the Holy Spirit, FreedomHouse Church has flourished into a thriving, Spirit-filled, life changing church, where thousands of lives have been touched. We strongly believe, although many wonderful things have taken place, OUR GREATEST DAYS ARE STILL AHEAD OF US!
