At First Free, we believe that the salvation of Jesus Christ affects the whole person and that it leads us into greater wholeness and well-being. As we grow into greater wholeness in Christ, we may need specialized help to deal with hurts, addictions, relational conflicts, and mental health challenges we may be experiencing.

While the pastoral staff at First Free is always glad to set up an appointment to hear what may be going on in your journey and to provide spiritual counsel and prayer, we also want to celebrate the gift of those experts who have studied, been licensed, and specifically practice counseling services to help us in our areas of need.

We recommend any of the following clinics and resources to partner with you in God's work of healing. If you have any questions feel free to contact Pastor Paul Anleitner  or faith community nurse, Jeanine Bruen.
