Community Groups

Groups that are open to anyone wanting to explore a deeper connection with the First Free family. Typically meet on Sunday mornings or Wednesday evenings. These groups usually consist of 15 – 50 people and focus on practical learning, serving in the church and community, and building supportive relationships.

LifeGroups

Small groups, usually 10 or less, that help participants grow spiritually by asking each other ‘Soul Tending’ questions* and praying for one another. (*Each group can develop their own set of questions that are most appropriate for them. We will provide numerous ‘group question’ options that can help your group get started if you’re interested.
