The church was reorganized and reopened on September 14, 2025 by a joint venture between the Church of the Nazarene and the Churches of Christ in Christian Union. The church is now Freedom Church of Mansfield. The pastors are Fred and Jessica Dible. The church is now averaging over 100 per Sunday.

Pastor Jorge is also helping the Bookwalter Church with Pastor Mike Williams to establish a Hispanic
Church there.
- Muncie, Indiana. The Muncie 23 rd Street CCCU Church closed in the early spring of 2025. The church is debt free and is in good condition but needs to be updated.
