Spread the word and let people know what’s coming to the heart of Lebanon.
Financial transparency is important to us. Here’s the latest update:
Oaks on Main is a ministry of Freedom Church and is being funded by individual donations, church savings, a variety of private and public grants, and a small amount of lending from the Wesleyan Investment Foundation.
Turning a vacant, dilapidated, 100-year-old building into a commercial coffee shop and event space is a significant endeavor from both a cost and a time perspective, but the abundance of God’s provision has met us every step of the way so far, and we are believing for that to continue.
