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.

To have a real and personal relationship with God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and to walk in an anointing that transforms lives around them. We do not believe that there is a junior Holy Spirit but one that operates fully in and through our children.

Nick Dyson Youth Pastor
Nick and his wife, Liz, have the desire to see the youth of today rise up and be Salt and Light in their generation! Nick has previously served as a Young Adult teacher, and a co-leader of a small group focused on teaching discipleship. With a passion for biblically rooted leadership and development, Nick believes today’s youth are on the front lines of social, cultural, and political pressure. By equipping them to be faithful disciples of Jesus and to discern what the Bible teaches about current events and issues, they can prepare to stand for Christ and face whatever challenges arise with God’s help!
