| OUR NAME |
The number 513 Is derived from Galatians 5:13. "You my brothers are called to be free, but don't use your freedom for your own selfish nature, rather, serve one another in love." We believe God has called each of us to be the hands and feet of Jesus, using our gifts and resources to love others and serve Him. The word free holds multiple meanings. As a non-profit, we are free of charge. Jesus never charged anyone to hear the Gospel, why should we be any different? With Jesus, we are free from sin and fear to use our gifts to glorify God. |

| WHAT WE DO |
Since the start of this ministry, it has been our intention to share the love of Christ through music and service. Along with leading worship for events and services, we're available to play for music festivals and other concert settings. All of our ministry focuses on glorifying God. We also spend time working with other organizations to help those in need and assisting in various service projects. |
| |
| WHERE WE'VE BEEN |
Over the past four years, we've played primarily in the midwest, but have made trips to Wyoming, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. We've shared our ministry at churches, prisons, rehab centers, youth camps and conferences. We've played over 400 events including Lifest (Oshkosh) and events with Phil Wickham, John Reuben, AGAPE, Everyday Sunday, Silverline and Sixteen Cities. We've also partnered with TRU-Serva from MPLS a hip-hop worship artist for different worship / concert events. |

| MISSION STATEMENT |
The mission of 513FREE is to reach out to the world using creative and inspiring musical expression. We are a non-profit organization formed by a common vision to travel to places others won't, including (but not limited to) prisons, churches and rehabilitation centers and to spread the Gospel of salvation without barrier of race or religion. It is also our desire to develop and give opportunities to aspiring musicians and creatives, and encourage them to use their talents both with 513FREE in other ways that will benefit their own lives. |
