Affinity Groups usually focus on a specific need or objective. They typically meet at church, and are open to any who want to drop in and join. If you are interested in one of the Affinity Groups listed below, contact the facilitator to find out when the group will next meet.

Men United
Fridays during the school year, 6:30-7:30am at the church
Men United is a group open to all men that seeks to train men to be who God created them to be through biblical teaching, accountability, and closer connection to Christ. For more information or to sign up, visit the Men United page.
Men's SoulShare
Second Saturday each month, 9–10:30 a.m. at the Church

Created to Create
Every second Tuesday of the month, 6:00pm – 8:00pm, at the church
The goal of Created to Create—led by Gayle Gilman and Marlene Maloney—is to help people in our community exercise their creative potential and develop their artistic skills. Monthly art classes for anyone ages 10 and up are available on Tuesdays, from 6–8 p.m.
Expressions
Sundays, twice a month, from 2:30–4:30 p.m. at the Church in Room 103
The Expressions support group is similar to other small groups at First Free. It is a place where people “do life” together: supporting and encouraging each other, praying for each other, serving, and seeking Biblical wisdom together. However, membership in the group is dedicated to people dealing with chronic illnesses ranging from ongoing physical disease to mental illness, such as chronic depression or anxiety. Using art is one way we foster talking about difficult things and often generates delightful observations and discussions. All art materials are provided, and there is no cost to attend. For more information, see the Expressions event page. If you are interested in joining, please talk to one of the Faith Community Nurses or Delores Huanca (ddhuanca@msn.com).
