Rev. Dr. Ricardo Roger Symonette

Senior Pastor

REV. DR. RICARDO ROGER SYMONETTE assumed the office of pastor at the tender age of 26 and has demonstrated unwavering faith in God over these years.

He is known locally and internationally for his uncompromised and dynamic proclamation of the Word of God and for being a defender of the faith. He is unshakeable in his conviction that God has called him into the pastorate for such a time as this.

Pastoring in any generation is a challenge, but in the 21st century, a daunting task. There is a challenge to remain contemporary, relevant, and sympathetic to the needs, issues, and interests of people, while at the same time, being faithful to the Word of God, consistent to the mandate of the Church, and directed by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Rev. Dr. Symonette. nonetheless, fully understands that he is CALLED to serve God first and foremost, and then to serve the needs of the congregation faithfully.

FREEDOM TEMPLE OF MIAMI has been EXCEEDINGLY BLESSED with one of God’s finest vessels that this generation has encountered. Pastor Symonette is not just an exceptional preacher and a distinguished leader, he is a true scholar and lover of the Word, an AMAZING person that can be trusted, just a real great guy.

Under his leadership, Freedom Temple of Miami continues to be a Word-based congregation, uncompromising in the belief that those who remain faithful, God in Christ honors. Although, sound Biblical Principles are viewed by many of this modern era as antiquated and authoritarian, Freedom Temple of Miami is a herald of Good News and a leader in rallying the consciousness of Christians to be socially astute, yet spiritually attentive.

One of Pastor Symonette’s most admirable qualities is his kindness. This servant of God has been and continues to be a tremendous blessing to the body of Christ, who truly embodies the attributes of a SHEPHERD and a reflection of II Timothy 4:1-5 and I Peter 5:1-
