About Freedom Centre
Rick and Kalina
We are Rick and Kalina! Together we planted the Freedom Centre and have been catalysts for personal and community growth and change. In us is such a deep love for the local church. We feel called to facilitate and multiply leaders for healthy churches both locally and to the nations.
We also travel worldwide equipping church leadership teams and are conference speakers. We’ve been happily married for 39 years and have four children and 6 grandchildren. Oh, and the family dog whose name is Jack.
Thanks for taking a quick peek at who we are!

Our History
How it started
Growth & Giving
Over the years, the group grew and grew until it formed a small community. One day, as they were taking stock of all they were, all they had and all they wanted to be, they realized what they must do next if they were to become more like the Real Thing -- they must give it all away. So they began.
One day they gave away all they had, which was thousands of dollars in a building fund. Another day they gave away all they were and helped the Muslim cultural centre clean up after they were vandalized. Some even gave up all they wanted to be and moved closer in order to be more. And then one day, someone decided to give something to the little community! And that is the story of how The Freedom Centre International (FCI), armed with a dream and faith in the God who is the Real Thing, received a quarter of a million dollars to purchase their first centre on Lakeshore.
