“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Freedom Lake Ministries is a Christ-centered Section 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to helping men grow spiritually mature through a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. Within an intentional discipleship community, men engage in Christian practices such as prayer, Scripture, worship, testimony, and service that nurture faith, restore identity, and build lasting spiritual foundations. Our mission is to help men break cycles of addiction and incarceration, restore their God-given identity in Christ, and raise up Kingdom-multiplying disciples who reach others with the hope they have found.
We are not a short-term program but a life-on-life discipleship community. Through daily rhythms of faith and shared Christian practice, men explore spiritual questions, find belonging, and grow in lifelong faith that impacts future generations. As men mature spiritually, they learn to live with purpose, integrity, and a renewed vision for serving others.
We believe true freedom is found in a life surrendered to Christ. Tony and Kim Cash, founders of Freedom Lake Ministries, recognized the need for a place where men could step away from distractions and grow spiritually within a community committed to practicing faith together each day.
God gave Tony Cash the vision for Freedom Lake while he was incarcerated. Today, he walks alongside men as they discover their identity in Christ and grow through Christian practices that shape faith, community, and mission.
Freedom Lake Ministries follows a three-phase discipleship pathway designed to cultivate spiritual formation over time.
We believe that Christ can change the desires of our hearts and serenity can be found in a life of service to the furthering of His Kingdom. Tony and Kim Cash – the Founders of Freedom Lake – knew there needed to be a place where men can come to deepen their relationship with Christ to break free of the strongholds that bind him so all who come here can experience a life in Christ that was always intended for them.
God gave Tony Cash the vision for Freedom Lake while he himself was incarcerated. Today, Tony disciples men so they can walk in a life of true purpose and freedom.
