Free Worship is a Christian worship band serving the inner city of Chicago. The team ministers weekly at their home church, New Life Covenant. At the heart of Free Worship is a desire to see God revive His church and release a work of His Holy Spirit so that time spent in worship and singing would result in transformed lives. The name Free remains a constant reminder that we must always make room for the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Whether worshiping on a Sunday morning, recording in a studio, or simply rehearsing; Free Worship operates under one simple truth - we are all created for God’s glory. It is their sincere hope that any gift, talent or performance would disappear in the light of Jesus.
