The MEETING Place Church International: Eric J. Freeman, Pastor

	THE VISIONARY
	Receiving the call to preach the gospel as a young teen, Eric J. Freeman set out to proclaim God's Word with uncommon power and uncompromising principles. He was licensed at the age of seventeen and later ordained under his father, The Rev. Moses Elijah Freeman, endeavoring to fulfill the great commission of proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ and making disciples of all men. Bishop-Designate Eric Freeman has since traveled nationally and internationally ministering and leaving in his wake changed lives, mended relationships, and restored believers. There is indisputable evidence of the anointing of God resting upon his life and ministry. His intellectual understanding of the Word, combined with a passion for God and God's people, renders through him the unique ability to blend Sunday morning power with Monday through Saturday practical principles for living. Bishop-Designate Freeman completed his undergraduate work at the University of Florida, earned a M.A.R. degree, with a concentration in Theological Ethics, from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary and completed post graduate work at Cornell University in Executive Leadership (CEL). The Rev. Eric J. Freeman has been duly appointed and will be consecrated as Bishop of the Lord's Church by Presiding Bishop Michael Blue and the Official College of Bishops. The consecration is scheduled for January 28, 2012. He has been married for sixteen years to the former Miss Coleen Angela McLennon, and they are the proud parents of one daughter, Tyne' Angela, and one son, Jordane Ericson. He is the pastor and founder of The MEETING Place Church International in Columbia, SC, USA and the International Fellowship of MEETING Place Churches.
