A Sanctuary for the Cowboy and Cowgirl

Our Mission

Freedom Area was established in 2006 by Pastor Tony and Christi Swillum. The mission from the beginning was simple and clear: “Glorify God, Exalt Jesus & Salvation for the Lost”. Freedom Arena is an arena in which God is glorified, where His Son Jesus Christ is lifted up, and where the Holy Spirit is welcome.

Freedom Arena is committed to creating Christian Family Rodeo events in a safe, alcohol and drug-free Christian environment. Freedom Arena is an extension of Freedom Christian Center Church and was built to be a sanctuary for the cowboy. The arena is a place to build relationships intended to lead men and women to Christ and strengthen the faith of fellow believers.

Our events are designed to cater to our community's needs and are affordable for the entire family. The financial proceeds of Freedom Arena go directly to the Freedom Dream Center. The FDC is a faith-based, one-year recovery program for those living in the bondage of addiction.

2024 Rodeo Season was a blast!

It was an outstanding year of events, fellowship, competition, and fun at Freedom Arena! We're already looking forward to next season! We hope to see you under the big roof!
