CITY OF FREEDOM

We are a husband and wife team, both ordained ministers, dedicated to guiding individuals toward healing, freedom, and spiritual restoration.

With a passion for biblical history and a deep commitment to God's Word, we focus on addressing critical issues such as inner healing, overcoming addictions, the sanctity of life, and the struggles many face in today's world.

Through heartfelt messages, biblical teachings, and compassionate support, our mission is to help people break free from the chains of guilt, shame, and brokenness, leading them to a life of hope, peace, and purpose in Christ. We believe in the transformative power of God's grace and strive to empower others to walk in the freedom and healing He offers.

Meet Bill

Bill Francavilla has called Virginia home for most of his life. His love of history, faith, and storytelling has shaped everything he does. He studied History and Theater at Lynchburg College, a combination that gave him both a deep appreciation for the past and a gift for bringing it to life. After graduating, he met and married his wife Jessica, and together they raised their four children.

In 2017, Bill has a masters degree from Liberty University, where he studied theology. He has had the honor of serving on the mission field in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Guatemala, serving communities whose histories and struggles have profoundly informed his perspective. He has also dedicated over two decades to the classroom as an educator with a passion to invest in the next generation pointing them toward Jesus.

Bill currently serves as senior pastor of Living Hope Church in Williamsburg, Virginia, where his deepest calling remains the discipleship of believers - walking alongside them with pastoral care, spiritual depth, and an unwavering conviction that every person is capable of reaching their fullest potential in Christ.
