First Evangelical Free Church exists to:

Create a church in the city that makes a difference for Christ where people Connect to Christ, Grow in Christ, and Serve with Christ.

First Evangelical Free Church has a strong commitment to people. We believe that in our community and around the world there is a need for people to share God's love.

Volunteers from First Free work with local recreation districts, local schools and other local services to meet the social and spiritual needs of our community.

We also support various community organizations.
