Call for Art
Artists of all ages and abilities are invited to submit paintings, drawings, prints, and other expressions of art to be shared with the congregation in our annual Advent & Christmas art exhibit. Work can be dropped off in the office during business hours.
Front Door Communities
Front Door Communities are opportunities to naturally and intentionally gather around shared interests and activities as a way to practice the Way of Jesus in culturally relevant ways. Our Front Door Communities are groups that serve as a welcoming “front door,” inviting those outside the church into meaningful relationships that foster a sense of belonging and open the door for discipleship. These are self-organizing, self-sustaining groups where members of our church can engage their passions while intentionally making space for others to encounter the life of Christ in authentic community. Whether it’s board games, a sport, hiking, a book or movie club, we are looking for people interested in leading groups for a 3-month trial run. If you’re interested, contact paul.anleitner@firstfreechurch.org.
