Ministry

[edit | edit source]

On his way to a musical career as a saxophone player Franklin became an evangelist. After Roy Wellborn, senior pastor of Free Chapel, died in 1989, Franklin was installed as pastor of Free Chapel.[1] At the time, Free Chapel was a small congregation of 300 people. In 2004 the church moved to a new location which had a 3,000-seat auditorium.[2] As of 2023, Free Chapel is a megachurch with multiple campuses across the Southern United States.[3] The ministry is based on prayer and biblical values and the defense of the Judeo-Christian heritage. [4]

Jentezen has written over a dozen books. His close friend, Pastor Tommy Tenney, wrote the foreword Jentezen's 2007 best seller Fasting: Opening the door to a deeper, more intimate, more powerful relationship with God.[5]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Franklin and his wife Cherise married in September 1987. They have five children.[6]
