Troy and Penny Maxwell
In 2002, with only a word from God, Troy and Penny left all they knew in Richmond, Virginia, and moved to Charlotte to start Freedom House Church. Since the doors of FHC opened that September, the Maxwells hit the ground running. They're excited about all God's done, and they're even more excited about what He'll do in the years to come!
The Maxwells have been married since 1992. They're committed to each other and their three children: son Colby, and daughters Cabell and Cassidy. Their passion is to see you live up to your fullest potential, and they're committed to speaking Godly vision and purpose into every person they meet.
Troy Maxwell. Troy is engaging, personable and adventurous, both in the pulpit and in his every-day life. He's passionate about God, sharing relevant, uncompromised Bible teaching with energy and conviction. Troy is a strong leader, and he enjoys drawing out and developing the leadership qualities in others. He's also a visionary, and he's not intimidated by the unknown. Instead, Troy steps out in full faith, challenging others to believe God and chase the vision He's given to the Maxwells for Freedom House Church.
Penny Maxwell. Penny co-pastors Freedom House Church with her husband Troy, partnering with him to serve FHC in a well-balanced yet dynamic way. Penny is outgoing, animated and fun-loving, bringing an infusion of energy and fresh perspective wherever she goes! With an eye for detail and a flair for the creative, Penny pours excellence into every venture. Her heartbeat is encouragement, and she enjoys building people up in their identity in Christ.
As it continues to prosper in God's hands, Freedom House Church will be a mainstay in Charlotte--known as a haven for the lost, a strengthener of families, and a launching pad for Godly leaders both inside and outside the church.
The Maxwells are covered by Pastors Dennis and Colleen Rouse of Victory World Church, and Pastor Sam Hinn of The Gathering Place.
