Isn’t it remarkable how a seed of faith can blossom into a vibrant church like Freedom Christian Bible Fellowship? Freedom Christian Bible Fellowship’s story began in February 1973. It started in the home of George and Pauline Patterson with just 11 members. They called themselves Freedom Baptist Church back then. That same year, the small congregation purchased a building at 4500 Westminster Avenue.
Years passed and in November 1984 Rev Gilbert Coleman Jr was invited to preach. He later became the pastor of Freedom Baptist Church. But a change was coming. The Lord led Pastor Coleman to separate from the Baptist denomination. In October 1989, they officially became Freedom Christian Bible Fellowship.
The church grew. Freedom Christian Bible Fellowship’s membership increased significantly. This growth led them to move their services to the E Spencer Miller School. They even had to start holding two services on Sundays to accommodate everyone. Freedom then moved to a space on the top floor of 5070 Parkside Avenue in the Philadelphia Business and Technology Center. Eventually, they purchased their current home at 6100 W Columbia Avenue.
In January 2016, Rashiid K Coleman was installed as pastor of Freedom Christian Bible Fellowship. Apostle Gilbert Coleman Jr became the overseer.
