The Meeting Place Church of Greater Columbia

Story

The Meeting Place Church International is a part of the growing cadre of dynamic organizations known in leading institutions as “The Emerging Church.”

Noted for their prayerful, practical, and passionate approach to providing ministry services throughout their community and abroad, The Meeting Place Church has built a local and international platform for distributing hope and help to the hurt around the world.

With more than 100,000 lives impacted daily through their local and
international outreach, it is no wonder The Meeting Place Church has amassed national followings in Kenya, Indonesia, The Philippines, South Africa, Great Britain, and Nigeria.

For eighteen years, the growing Columbia, South Carolina based congregation has been under the leadership of Bishop Eric J. Freeman.

Bishop Freeman is a native of Tampa, Florida who completed undergraduate work at The University of Florida and graduate work at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary and Cornell University respectively. Prior to pursuing the vocation of ministry, Bishop Freeman worked in corporate America for Kraft General Foods, Pfizer, Inc., and Novartis, USA.

Together Bishop Freeman and The Meeting Place Church International have created a revolutionary blueprint for leveraging digital platforms and facilitators to carry the message of help and hope, through the universal language of prayer, to the nations.
