We envision a community…

• of relationships built on love and trust.
• of comfort. Where we can come to find compassion, hope, and healing.

History

Freedom Outreach, a ministry of Vineyard Christian Fellowship at the Barn in Pennsylvania, was founded in the spring of 1999.  The Outreach was originally located in a storefront at 2116 North Market Street in Wilmington, DE.  Since then Freedom Outreach has expanded it’s influence to other ares of Wilmington including the neighborhoods of Riverside, Southbridge, the Eastside, and their surrounding areas.  The significant relationships that we have developed over the years are very valuable to us.  This is because relationships are at the core of what Freedom Outreach is.

In the fall of 2004 we moved out of the storefront on North Market Street in hopes of finding and purchasing a building to call home.  Meanwhile we have moved “onto the streets.”  Our programs take place in parkes and homes, on front steps, and in borrowed facilities.

Involvement

Our programs influence over 300 children in the city of Wilmington.  Relationship building is the main priority in all of our programs; relationships that equip and relase people to be all they were created to be through hope and healing. Following is a list of our current programs:
