We want to keep you informed as we make decisions on how to respond to the coronavirus outbreak. We are monitoring the situation very closely, and are making decisions that prioritize the safety of our congregation and community. We will give updates on our website at efree.org/safety, on our Facebook page, and via email. If you don’t get our emails and would like to, visit efree.org/updates.

We’re getting a jump on Mother’s Day, and we need your help! Record a short video of you (or your kids or grandkids) thanking your (or their) mom for being awesome. Please include a specific memory if possible, like "Thanks, mom, for letting me have a pet toad", or “Thanks, mom, for bringing me my oboe when I forget it at home”. Upload your video at efree.org/thanksmom by April 27th, and we’ll handle the rest.

Groups at First Free are a place to belong. Groups provide an environment for discipleship and study. They give opportunities for hospitality. They help us to grow and learn about God, the Bible, ourselves, and each other. Groups do not supplant the church, but they provide a setting where believers can more fully realize what it means to be the church. To learn more and find your fit, click the link below!
