Ministry
On his way to a musical career as a saxophone player Franklin became an evangelist. After Roy Wellborn, senior pastor of Free Chapel, died in 1989, Franklin was installed as pastor of Free Chapel.[3] At the time, Free Chapel was a small congregation of 300 people. In 2004 the church moved to a new location which had a 3,000-seat auditorium.[4] As of 2023, Free Chapel is a megachurch with multiple campuses across the Southern United States.[5]
Personal life
Franklin and his wife Cherise married in September 1987. They have five children.[6]
