Bridging the gap between Hip Hop & the Gospel of Jesus Christ
For 9 years Freedom Of Soul has been actively involved in the Hip Hop culture. Teaching kids to break dance & performing @ community events, Freedom Of Soul has made a name for itself as a team of people committed to connecting with the community.
Comprised of individuals who have excelled @ their craft, the Freedom Of Soul team is a team of bboys & bgirls, rappers, singers, DJs & artist who through uncompromised faith, as well as an uncompromised love for the Hip Hop culture desire to use their gifts to accomplish the vision of the ministry. Which is:
“To Reach the Hip Hop Culture With the Gospel of Jesus Christ”
Steering away from what the mainstream media deems as “Hip Hop” (through radio, tv, movies, music, internet, etc.) our goal is to stay true to the art as we share the gospel message with those who too have a love for the Hip Hop Culture.

We Believe…
• There is only One True God–revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
• The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
• In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.
• Though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
• Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). ?
• And practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.
• The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.
• The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
• Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
• The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
• A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church and to Meet human need with ministries of love and compassion.
• Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins).
• The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. ?
• A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
• And look forward to the perfect New Heaven & New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
Freedom Of Soul & its members are currently serving @ Grace Assembly of God Church in Brewster, NY.
