What Is A Free Church?
You may be wondering what a free and unregistered church is. The term “free church” refers to a Christian church that is intrinsically separated from government as opposed to a state church.
A free church does not define government policy, nor have governments define church policy or theology, nor seeks or receives government endorsement or funding for its general mission. It is unlicensed, unregistered, and unregulated by the government. A free church is under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and protected by Him and the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It is important to understand that there is NO LAW in America requiring a church to incorporate or apply for a 501-C-3 tax exemption.
We, at Yeshua House of Israel, a home based church, outside the walls, a church in motion, declare that Jesus Christ is Sovereign over His bride, the church. HE wants His bride to be without spot, blemish or wrinkle. We hope that you can clearly understand that the Bride of Jesus, the church, is NOT a corporation but a living body of people. Scripture encourages us as believers:
Romans 12:12 – “… be not conformed to this world”
It is important to note that when a church incorporates it becomes a non-profit “business” which owes allegiance to its creator = the state (18 Am. Jur., 2d). When a church applies for and receives the 501-C-3 tax recognition, she (the church is referred to as a “she” in the scriptures) has voluntarily become an “it”. That exemption recognition comes with a voluntary muzzle and a whole set of “regulations” that are not Biblical, nor desirable.
Our authority is the Word of God, and in it we are commanded:
Matthew 22:21 – “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are
Caesars and unto God the things that are God’s”
Our Founding Fathers were well aware of the atrocities that had taken place in Europe (and other places) where the Christian Church was regulated or controlled by the State. They were determined not to have that in America.
So, just what exactly is a free-church? A free-church operates independent of, and is in no way subordinate to, the civil government. It is the right of any church to operate free of the corrupting and compromising influence and control of the State; and it is a right guaranteed by the Constitution:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
A free-church is not some radical-fringe concept. Rather, the free-church was one of the most influential, and certainly one of the most common, institutions in early American history. The worldview of those men who fought for America’s independence embraced an uncompromising belief that the church was not an underling, a vassal, or in any way subordinate to any king, parliament, or any other civil government body.
The church is ordained and established by Jesus Christ Himself, and Christ has never delegated His authority to the civil jurisdiction to rule in the affairs of His church.
A free-church is the opposite of a State-Church. A State-Church is a church which is organized by the State, and/or is controlled and regulated by the State, or which exists at the pleasure of the State.
Americans are generally offended by the notion of the State creating or controlling their churches, or that their churches would be subordinate to the State. However, this is exactly what has occurred in recent years as a direct result of churches incorporating and seeking a 501c3 status — they have become State-Churches.
A free-church is a church that is truly separate, independent and autonomous from the State. It is established by a local body of Christian believers, or chartered or “planted” by another church body or denomination, without the permission or sanction of the State.
The only “sovereign” of the free-church is the Lord Jesus Christ. A free-church cannot incorporate, it cannot seek a 501c3 status, it cannot become a tax collector for the State (withholding agent), it cannot accept government-issued tax numbers (EIN).
We believe that the church must cease operating as an underling, subordinate to the State, or in any way dependent upon the State for “privileges and benefits.” The solution rests in the church organizing and operating as a church — the ecclesia, not as something other than what the Lord Jesus Himself ordained and specified. Jesus spoke of the church as a “body” with Himself as the “head” of His church, and we as various “members of the body.” The church is, therefore, not an “organization” (a “legal entity”) but a living, breathing “organism.”
This should not be a difficult biblical doctrine to grasp, particularly for the Pastor. Sadly, however, since local churches started organizing as tax-exempt non-profit corporations in the mid-twentieth century, and since the incorporated 501c3 church is now the status quo, many folks have a hard time conceiving of the church operating as just a church. For some odd reason, just being a church isn’t good enough anymore for many Christians.
The courts understand that “a free church is not an entity recognized in law,” meaning that they have no jurisdiction over the church. However, organizing a church as a church is an especially difficult concept for attorneys to grasp.
Few attorneys can comprehend that there are things and issues completely outside the purview and jurisdiction of the civil government, nor do they care much for the idea. The legal support for the State’s lack of jurisdiction over the church in America is not only the Word of God, but the First Amendment to the Constitution for the United States:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…
No church in any nation at any point in history can lay claim to the freedoms and liberties that are guaranteed in America. We believe that the First Amendment is an act of God’s Providence, here in the United States of America, to safeguard His church and maintain its independence from the State.

Hearbeat & Soul Of The Church:
Our non-denominational church offers inspiring and thought-provoking sermons and teachings that guide individuals on their spiritual journey.
Yeshua House of Israel, a Home based outside the walls, a church in motion, loves all and does not discriminate or judge any one based on differences in gender, religious denomination, political affiliation or sexual orientation, because we are love and we demonstrate love in action and truth.
Almighty God is the true, infinite and only Judge and the act of arrogance or hate toward any one, regardless of sin or wrong doing, does not represent love. The opposite of love is hate. We as a church do not hate or judge. We must teach the truth, be at peace, walk in righteousness, and love every one, unconditionally.
Every human being has been given the free gift of salvation and free will to make choices in their lives, good or bad, right or wrong, and it is not up to man to judge or force any one to think or act as we do; This is love, exemplifying perfect free will and unconditional love. Humans are to learn from their mistakes, seek correction, mature over time and when each is ready, produce fruits of righteousness in his/her life.
Yes, there are good and bad choices and consequences for our actions; so, we are held accountable for our behavior because there are expectations from the law to be upheld as well as a final judgment day for humanity, under the judgment of Almighty God. We must strive to be a good citizen as well as a Child of God. We must walk in love, truth, goodness and Righteousness.
We must have a good, pure heart, clean conscience, motive and a progression in our development of soul and good character. The good news is that there is grace and mercy when humans fail or make mistakes, and opportunities are available for each to access; in our effort to attain positive change, healing, correction and success, we must overcome fear, and takes steps of faith, as well as develop goals and a plan for the future.
God is Holy and He loves all His children and flock, whether we are sinners or saved because Almighty God is a God of second chances, redemption, grace and mercy for all who accept Him as their Lord and Savior, obey His laws, worship Him and live each day in righteousness.
The bottom line is that every one is different, and has developed diverse beliefs, interests, experiences, and dreams, but we are all children of God. Almighty God wishes none to perish, but all to come to salvation, redemption, healing and eternal life in the end of one's lifetime, following judgment day. Repentance is the pathway to Yeshua/Jesus, who is the doorway to grace, forgiveness , mercy, and eternal salvation.
Yeshua of Israel, Jesus Christ , came from heaven to earth and back to heaven upon His death on the cross, until His return, in hope that all the sheep/flock from His pasture will return back to Him; He patiently and faithfully waits for His lost prodigal sons and daughters to repent, so that all may be saved by the blood of the lamb of Almighty God. This is called Grace, Mercy and love; this main principle represents the heart, mind, body and spirit of Yeshua House of Israel Church. We are the Philadelphia church that was planted, harvested , and pruned to be what God has created and called us to be, in spirit and in truth.
***All the good work, knowledge/wisdom, deliverance and prophecy comes directly from the highest source, the Holy Spirit.
Yeshua, Jesus Christ Commanded, Love your neighbor as yourself and love you enemies.
Matthew 22:37-39
Lev 19:18
Gal 5:14
