Us

We affirm one eternal God in three equal persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Initially, God showcased His power, wisdom, and goodness by creating the world and all within.

He sustains His creation and works through history for redemption.

GOD

Bible

We trust the Bible—Old and New Testaments—as God's revelation to chosen authors. It carries God's authority through diverse human styles and backgrounds. In its original- it's infallible, inerrant, and the ultimate authority on faith and practice. No other writings share this divine inspiration.

What we Believe.

We believe salvation is redemption for sinners. Originally meant for a relationship with God, humans chose independence, leading to alienation and an inability to please Him.

This began in early human history, affecting all. Salvation is solely by God's grace, not human effort. It's attained through repentance and faith, with God's ongoing saving work.

Salvation

Holy Spirit

We affirm the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father and Son, who reveals sinners' need for salvation. Upon salvation, the Spirit renews and dwells within believers, offering assurance, strength, wisdom, and gifts for the church. He guides in Bible understanding and application. By faith, believers access His power, leading to Christ-like lives and fruitful glory to the Father.

Baptism

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward commitment to a personal

relationship with Jesus Christ.

We believe the decision to be baptized is up to the

individual and that he or she must fully understand what it means to be a Christ

follower.

Communion

During Jesus’ last days, He gathered the disciples in a room and asked them to

consume bread and wine “in remembrance” of Him.

Two thousand years later, we

regularly observe the act of consuming bread and grape juice as a community for

the exact same reason—to remember our Savior, who sacrificed Himself for our

sins.

Our mission is to spark growth and nurture transformation within our community, guiding our church into a new era while upholding its core values.

The evolutionary church concept initiative aims to seamlessly blend visionary ideas with our treasured traditions, creating a space that resonates with the vitality of modern times.

Our vision is resolute: we invite individuals with fervent dreams to harmonize their innovative concepts with our well-established values. The Evolutionary Church will introduce fresh elements like drama and theater ministry, multimedia integration, youth outreach initiatives, and an enriching worship team experience, reflecting the diverse talents within our community.

Through this transformative approach, our church community is poised to flourish both in numbers and impact. As new believers are welcomed into our fold through baptism, our outreach will extend further, meeting the needs of our community with compassion and relevance. Our services will cater to the diverse journey of our community members, fostering a sense of unity, purpose, and spiritual growth for all.

Bishop Isaiah Freeman, III, hailing from Dover, Delaware, holds a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Music Performance from Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio. His musical journey continued with advanced degrees from Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, and The University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland.

In 2021, he earned a Master of Ministry degree from the Christian World College of Theology in Salisbury, Maryland, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Presently, he's pursuing a Ph.D. in Pastoral Ministry at Newburgh Theology Seminary in Newburgh, Indiana.

Bishop Freeman's journey began on June 14, 1987, when he answered the call to preach. His inaugural sermon was delivered at First Baptist Church of Hixson in Hixson, Tennessee, under Late Elder O.D. Bouie's guidance. Licensed to preach that same year at Dover's Union Baptist Church by the late Rev. Dr. J.H. Williams, he was ordained to the Full Gospel Ministry in 1991 by the Second National Ketochen Baptist Association.

Beyond his preaching, Bishop Freeman boasts a 37-year music education career, with teaching roles at respected institutions like Michigan State University, Lansing Community College, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Shippensburg University, and Delaware State University.

Founding the "Gift of God" Studio Productions and The "Gift of God" Family Life Center, Inc. in Dover, Bishop Freeman shines as a guiding light in ministry and music.

In 2006, he established New Dimensions Christian Fellowship, Inc. in Delaware's New Castle County, currently shepherding an online worship ministry. Now, with divine grace, Bishop Isaiah and Lady B. Jean Freeman have transplanted New Dimensions Christian Fellowship to Covington, Virginia, prepared to lead and serve.

Bishop Freeman, wed to Lady B. Jean Freeman, embraces the blessing of 10 children and 10 grandchildren, a testament to the grandeur of God's work in his life
