Our History Pastor Jerry and Linda Hill began conducting services at the Gateway Conference Center in Hickory, NC in October of 2001. Our first service as Freedom Assembly Church was conducted on Sunday, November 4, 2001, with an attendance of 67. The ministry was incorporated as a non-profit church corporation on November 7, 2001. On April 3, 2002 we purchased our current building and property. At Freedom Assembly Church we believe that when God gives a vision He provides the provision so we may extend and establish His Kingdom on this earth.  To God be all the glory and honor!
