First Free's Reopening Plan

We're excited to be holding in-person services! We're all working hard to have these services be as safe and enjoyable as possible, but they are going to little different than what you’re used to. We'll have a few different worship experiences available in different venues around the church, and everything is designed to be very safe. To make sure we are not exceeding safe capacity, you'll need to reserve a seat for each person at efree.org/reopen. While you’re there, please also check out our safety guidelines!

Free Kona Ice Today!

We’ll be hosting the Kona Ice truck today, July 26, after service in the north parking lot, so be sure to stick around and join us for a free Kona Ice and some time in socially distanced fellowship! Please social distance and wear masks when not eating.

Financial Peace University

One of the many results of the pandemic has been financial uncertainty. Financial Peace University is a short 9-week (September 14 – November 9) program that can make a years-long impact on your financial health and help you weather whatever storms may come. More than 4.5 million people have gone through this class and learned God’s ways of handling money. They’ve been taught how to create a budget they can actually follow, and they’ve rewritten their stories—changing their futures forever. If you have any questions, email financialpeace@efree.org.

Pinecrest Family Retreat Cancelled

Given the current situation with the coronavirus, we have made the hard decision to cancel the Pinecrest Family Retreat this year. We're sad, but know it's the right call. The safety of our families is so important to us!

Groups at First Free

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!
