Legacy
In June 1985, Jack Farrell, one of the two assistant pastors hand-picked by Hobart Freeman, quit the congregation, telling "The Body" during the Sunday sermon, that they were still "in bondage" to their late pastor. Some of the congregation also grew disillusioned and left.
Others remained under the ministry of one or more of Freeman's successors. These successors include Joe and Jim Brenneman, Steve Hill, Jerry Ervin, Bruce Kinsey (d. 14 June 2008), Jim Mansfield, Gary Wilson, Terry Knafel, Jim Trout, Ron Moerchen, Don Mishler, Joe Duncan, Stan Hill, Tom Hamilton, Jim Oswalt, Dave Hardy, Harry Albright, Bill Garner, Jerry Reeder, Mark Yotter, Rick McCleay, Jeff Barnett and Tim Neely. Not all are today generally acknowledged to be faithful to Freeman's ministry. Continuing congregations include groups at Larwill, Osceola and Indianapolis Indiana, Grand Centre/Cold Lake Alberta and Shelbyville Kentucky.
