BIBLE FELLOWSHIPS, Sunday, 10:35 AM for kids, teens, & adults! This is a time of fellowship around a variety of topics that help us better seek, savor, and share Christ together. This week, we're wrapping up Just for Starters and How to Bible Study. Discipling will continue, and next Sunday, October 18, we'll begin two new classes:
  • MEANINGFUL MEMBERSHIP | Chapel
    • This elder-led class explores our Statement of Faith and what it looks like to be a member of the Free Church.
  • WHY JESUS | Room 101
    • We’ll address the tough questions that people have about Jesus and point them back to the scriptural truths about our Savior.
