Pastor Dale Freeman trusted Christ as his Savior in October 1980 at the age of 19, along with his girlfriend at the time and now wife, Sharon. Both were raised in Greenville, South Carolina. In 1981, Pastor Freeman answered God’s call to preach and began studying at Tabernacle Baptist College. For more than 40 years, the Lord has given him many opportunities to preach in churches, conferences, and Baptist colleges of like faith. He became the Senior Pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church in the summer of 2006. Pastor Freeman is an expository preacher who is passionate about teaching God’s Word and encouraging believers to use their gifts to serve the Lord. Pastor Dale and Sharon (Reeves) were married on August 8, 1981, and moved their family to Virginia in 1999. They have four married children—Meredith Oliver, Michael, Marcus, and Mariah Keys—and many grandchildren. Pastor Freeman enjoys reading, sports, Mrs. Sharon’s southern cooking, and cheering for the Dallas Cowboys and the South Carolina Gamecocks. He especially loves spending time with his family, many of whom serve alongside him at Fellowship Baptist Church.
