New Vision Leadership Team
Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our purpose as a church at New Vision Ministries is to LOVE those that no one else loves. To REACH those who others deem unreachable. To EQUIP saints to do the work of God & to be FOUND FAITHFUL when Jesus returns for us.

Tommy Freeman – Worship Leader
Tommy has been leading New Vision in worship since 2006. His heart is to lead people deeper in their relationship with Jesus through music and connect with the Father every time he sets foot on stage. His desire is to see the church, the Bride of Christ, rise up and worship the Father is spirit and truth as we have been called to do. Each service is another opportunity for New Vision to do just that- seek God in worship and respond to God’s greatness through music. When Tommy isn’t leading worship at church, he is the frontman for 3:16 Band, a local Christian band with a heart to reach those who are far from God with the Gospel.
