Free Chapel OC

Miss Wednesday night service. Wish they could bring it back. Pastor Jouan is absolutely amazing and one of the reasons why I came back to the church. I’m sad that he doesn’t do as many services.

I’m not rating the church. But I just want to say something about the Guy who does the Traffic, He curses and yell at the people! Dude! Mind You, you work at Church. He got at attitude. His only nice to those car that are coming out from the church but if you are just passing by he will yell at you and curse you. Seriously! He says the F$&@k word.

Awesome church! Not so big so you can easily know new people. All the pastors are great: Franklin jentzen, pastor Ben and Jouan. They have women group, men group, singles, youth and kids. They really do a great job and often there are events or new speakers. I just Looooove it!

Like many things we experience in life, things change. Some can say for the good others can say for the bad. It all depends on what one seeks or what one is willing to allow to change them. Free Chapel is no exception. Love this place but it has gone through many changes over the last couple years. Not a fan of the pastor changes but it’s not what I want it’s what I’m willing to get from from it. This place is still magical when you walk in and if you have an open mind and can be obedient you will get so much from Free Chapel. This is still my home church even though I tried to change it a year ago. I still came back.

I have seen Jentzen Franklin preach many times on TV. So when my wife and I ventured to Irvine to check out Free Chapel, we were surprised at the «night club/​rock concert» feel to the service. It felt chaotic to us. The loud worship «concert» atmosphere is not for us. (Who needs 4 guitars to worship?) While we love some contemporary songs, the music here didn’t feel like it was worshiping Him. We didn’t even make it past the opening 15 min of music when we packed it in, went to the car and drove to Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, where we got the Word of God and some more appropriate music.

This place has taught me the word of God much better than any other churches I’ve attended. It has been a place to learn & grow individually, but also with others. My bf & I look forward to Sunday’s service & Pastor Franklin (founder) is inspiring to say the least. He is absolutely down-​to-​earth, humbling & you can instantly feel his passion for what he preaches, but importantly, he breaks down his teaching in a way that is easy to understand. Although he isn’t always there due to running other ministries in Georgia, his team of pastors (Ben, Javon& Jodi) will still deliver a powerful message.
Free chapel has changed my life dramatically & has been very effective spiritually! If u are looking for ways to maximize your experience & interact more, there are SOO many opportunities to engage & plug into this ministry from all kinds of fellowships for kids, teens, singles, married couples, Men2Men, Divine for women, bible classes, guest speaker events, etc.
The crowd is diverse, greeters smiling is always a common sight here & u definitely feel the energy of the music, to the comfort of being in the room as u worship (Evening service tends to be more upbeat & louder compared to the AM). Here, there are several screen projectors inside & outside the sanctuary, with day care is available if u have kids.
I feel very fortunate to have found a place I now consider my home church. It is so refreshing to look forward to a Sunday, but even when I can’t make it in, streaming live is a useful feature on their website at:

I’ve always wanted to visit this church, it’s so close to where I live and I’ve only heard good things about it. I have now attended this church for three weeks on Sunday nights, and have yet to be disappointed. I love the diversity and culture of the people who attend, I love the power, energy, passion and vibrance of the messages and the people who give the message. I love it’s proximity to where I live. :) There is a true sense of freedom in this church, and I admire and appreciate it! And believe me, I asked solid mature believers about this church before I attended, and was given much solid validation!
I went to one of the prayer and worship nights and it was extremely powerful, cleansing, moving and packed, even if the evening was only for an hour! If you love worship and prayer, like I do. Their worship time during their Sunday services is moving, filling and powerful.
I’ve met a few people and they’ve all been extremely welcoming and friendly. On Wednesday’s the church has their Midweek Mix, where different genre’s of groups meet. Anywhere from kids, to jr. higher’s, men’s group and women’s ministry meets. It’s a good variety of programs.
There isn’t a solid Singles/​Young Adults group, that I have found just yet. I heard this demographic meets in Small Groups throughout the area.
I would recommend this church, it’s alive, it’s passionate, it’s vibrant and it’s diverse in culture! I will be returning soon to get connected and meet more people!

Although I drive half an hour from Huntington Beach to Irvine for service it’s totally worth it to hear pastor Franklin preach. Pastor Franklin and worship music is wonderful and you feel the Holy Spirit moving in the service. The message is legit always spot on for my life and circumstance. I feel so blessed to be part of this church.

i love everything about this church !, powerful messege the musics, & atmosphere

I love this church. Such an amazing pastor, amazing staff and beautiful building. Truly the place is filled with the holy spirit.
Pastor Jentezen Franklin truly has made me reconnect with the good lord. He is truly amazing to speak the words of the lord. He and his staff really make you feel like family and bring heart to the church. Jentezen really comes off as a fatherly figure, most comforting when you sit for mass.
Free Chapel is probably the only church that I have felt connected to. One of the main reasons I fell off from religion was because my previous churches, the ones mom used to go to, is more traditional where they read from the book and you just listen. No interaction, no warm feeling when they speak. Just traditional listen and do basis. Free chapel is alive with color, warmth, friendly faces and tons of interaction.
Parking is always full, I can recommend parking across the street in empty lots. The nice thing also is after mass, you can have a nice breakfast or snack at Jamboree Plaza right next door.

Great bible-​based church! Pastor Jentezen is really awesome! Worship is amazing and the church has a ministry for all!

I love this place. Been coming for about 3 years now. Was invited by a friend. I wasn’t growing at my church. I love the music love Pastor Javon and Pastor Franklin. I always get pumped when I attend and leave feeling on heaven! I wish there wrre more ministry opportunities in my niche and I wish there were more small groups and activities for singles. Other than those minor things that I would like to see improved on… I can’t complain. I look forward to coming each week!

I have been trying to find a new church with my family for about a year in Orange County. I have a 12 month old son so we need flexible seating and an understanding crowd. I also have a mixed family so it is important to find a diverse crowd. My husband and I agreed that this hands down was the best service we have visited in the past year. We felt welcomed and immediately part of the congregation. Of course we will visit a few more times before we decide to join as members but I truly felt lead today by the message.

The discipleship classes on Wednesday evenings are amazing, the teaching is the best I have received so far and that is saying something because I have had a lot of incredible biblical teaching along my walk with the Lord. The classes are anointed and right on point and the teaching is always backed up and supported with multiple scriptures. The Pastors and Teachers are so knowledgeable, ready with a servants heart to equip and build us up so we know and have a deep understanding of who we are in Christ so that we may boldly go out and spread the Good News to those that don’t know Him and be in a position to equip and teach others so they may grow in their faith. It has taken my walk with Christ and outreach to the next level, The Truth truly does set you free when you know it and follow it. Thank you Lord and thank you Free Chapel, I am Blessed!

Thanking God everyday for Pastor Jentezen and Pastor Jevon for blessing my life and giving me the tools need to be a better Christian woman, mother, daughter and friend. God is truly the light that shines through me. The only time I am happy is when I’m trust and believing in God. I know that he knows where I should and shouldn’t be and what’s good for me. He will never leave me. It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it. Spread love joy and peace. Praise God for his never ending mercy and grace.

The aussie is amazing and should speak more.

I have been going here for a couple of years now and I must say that I am glad that I gave Free Chapel OC a chance. Pastor Franklin is a blessed man who listened to the Lord and started up this church years ago in Orange County. I tell all of my friends to give Free Chapel a try if they are in need of a home church.
If you are single, married, or have children, this church is for everyone. They have the KP Discovery for infants and preschoolers, then they have KidPak from 1^st thru 5^th grades, and they also have Solution from middle schoolers all the way to young adults. These ministries don’t entertain the young people — they educate them and equip them to handle real life situations; they allow the young people to share their faith and have fun doing so. They also have various ministries for adults (men’s, women’s, singles, married couples, and even seniors).
I know how hard it is to find a good church and how there are many stereotypes about churches, but Free Chapel breaks those preconceived notions and opens up the doors to all ethnicities, cultures, and ages. I truly don’t know where me and my family would be without Free Chapel.

I love attending Sunday evening service here sometimes. The worship music is extraordinary. Pastor Jentezen Franklin give some good sermons making them interesting and he is full of energy. The spirit and love of God just fills the church during the service. Before service starts you can check out the small bookstore that has some nice things and books by Jentezen Franklin.

I had heard about the church but decided to visit this Sunday and I loved it.
I got there a little late because I got lost and the usher escorted me to a seat and the people sitting next to me shook my hand and said «welcome»
The worship team was awesome! very professional and the message was short and sweet. The presence of the Lord was in that place and I pray that God continues blessing the church. I will definitely go back to visit very soon.

Might be my new church!
Awesome service.
Awesome speakers.
Nice facility.
Easy service times.
They dont ask for a million offerings!
Great job in Irvine.
I miss my church in Brooklyn though– CCC.
