Southwest Region
We have a network of trained members across the country who are doing ministry in their local community. Below you will find those who live in the Southwest Region, which includes AZ, CA, CO, NM, NV, or UT.
If you are interested in going through our discipleship process and/or having a Steps to Freedom in Christ Appointment, go to Our Discipleship Process for more information.
If you live in one of these states and would like to contact someone directly, please email Gary & Cana, the SW Intake Coordinators at SW.intake@ficm.org
Please note: We are not licensed professional counselors and therefore do not provide ongoing or long term therapy.
Each region begins with the profiles of the Regional Leadership Team as well as any State Leadership.
The regional Freedom Associate Members follow in alphabetical order.
