A House With a Legacy of Freedom
Freedom House isn’t just where our ministry meets — it’s a place that has stood for freedom for centuries.
Built in 1777 in the heart of Thornton, Pennsylvania, the house has witnessed some of America’s earliest battles for liberty. History tells us the Continental Army marched past its door while retreating from the Battle of Brandywine. The building across the street once served as a field hospital.
In the years that followed, Freedom House is said to have been part of the Underground Railroad, offering safe refuge to those seeking freedom.
A House for Men Today
That same spirit of freedom continues within these walls today.
Freedom House is now a welcoming space for men to gather, be honest and grow together in Christ. It’s not a museum or a monument – it’s alive with conversation, discipleship, recovery, and brotherhood.
​
Men who walk through the doors find a setting that is relaxed and real – a place to open up, connect with others, and encounter God in a personal way.
Around the table, in small groups, by the fire, or through coaching and prayer, Freedom House is where the journey to freedom takes root.
More Than a Place
While the house is central, the ministry doesn’t stop at its walls. What begins here spreads into churches, families, and communities as men step into deeper faith and stronger purpose.
​
Freedom House stands as both a historic landmark and a modern-day anchor for transformation. Just as it once represented freedom in our nation’s earliest days, today it represents the freedom Christ offers to every man.
"A couple months ago I was convicted by the Holy Spirit to confess my sins to another human being. Not the kind of sins you easily spill from your heart. Rather the ones that you would rather keep between you and God. In order to unload a heavy heart filled with shameful secrets you need an understanding brother and a safe place.
My friend recommended we meet at the Freedom House.
On a rainy night I met my friend there for this God-ordained confession time.
As I walked into the Freedom House I felt peace and grace. I realized I was in a sanctuary where God's presence was ready to minister to me. I was surprised at how easy it was confessing my sins there and with each admission I felt a little closer to God.
​
James 5:16 commands us to confess our sins to one another. By doing so our hearts are healed by His grace. Confessing our sins can be intimidating but with a loving brother and the right place it can being a freeing experience. I am truly thankful for the Freedom House!"
