Assessment

Freedom Church is a newer, growing non-denominational church in Stafford led by Pastor Barry Clark Jr. (VCU/Liberty). Three Sunday services indicate significant growth. However, the modern/hip branding and lack of a visible doctrinal statement or elder structure warrant caution. Need to attend or review sermons to assess theological depth. Visit and evaluate.
