Description
Freedom House is a group of ordinary people who believe that kindness can transform a city. We have two rules: love God and love others. Freedom House is a group of ordinary people who believe that kindness can transform a city. We have two rules: love God and love others. It's a Ministry Centre… where church happens too. We have a community-first mentality and since our inception in 2003, have consistently demonstrated an ability to mobilize a team of volunteers to meet the felt needs of our city. Worship AND Work is a core philosophy of Freedom House.
Out of our downtown, heart-of-the-city/ Laurier University campus location, we developed "The Kindness Project." We simply look for many different ways to both care for needs AND encourage others to do the same through acts of kindness. It started with the creation of our local superhero Captain Kindness and spans everything from free school assemblies, to free street barbeques, to hosting Frosty Fest (One of the largest winter carnivals in Ontario), to developing affordable housing, to 1$ Car Washes where we GIVE people the dollar for the honor of serving them, to neighborhood-based Kindness Campaigns designed to instigate new-found goodwill between neighbors!
Our Kindness Centre weekly meets the basic, practical needs of Brantford families who range from homeless to the growing number of “working poor” who work very hard but are still unable to make ends meet. Our “Superhero in me” elementary school project is a 4-step program that helps classrooms create a culture of kindness; a culture where bullying can’t even begin to take root.
Through a vast array of community initiatives, Freedom House is able to impact more than a third of the population of Brantford in one form or another on average annually. We believe that every person has a uniquely destined role in seeing Brantford become a prosperous, thriving, FREE city. Every member is a minister at Freedom House.

Frosty Fest
This weekend is Frosty Fest weekend! It's the biggest "serve our city" project that we do all year. Thousands of families come together to celebrate the Family Day Weekend together in Harmony Square! Hope to see you all there.
Tonight was scheduled to be a "State of the Union Communion" night at Fusion. Because we dined together last week and it's a busy time of year, we won't be doing the 6pm Dinner but we WILL be taking communion together as families as a part of fusion.

Fun Fact... about 30% of those at Freedom House on a Sunday are kids! We have an amazing group of kids who bring life to the house, bless our city, and are just as much a part of Freedom House as their parents are. There is no Jr. Holy Spirit. Your family would fit right in at Freedom House!

The Princess Party was so fun today. I got to dress up as Elsa and hang out with Cinderella, Snow White and Anna all day. Seeing so many little girls smile and being able to bless each one was such an awesome experience. 💕 #FrostyFest #princessparty #freedomhouse
