During the next four months, we will be learning to follow the way of Jesus through the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5 – 7). Here, in these famous words, Jesus offers us a window into the Kingdom of God, a snapshot of what a life of discipleship really looks like. We live in a moment when people aren’t interested in our arguments, but they’re dying to see a community practicing the way of Jesus. So we ask the question, “What if Jesus actually intended for his followers to put his teachings into practice?” This is what we’ll be exploring through the church seasons of Epiphany, Lent, and Eastertide.

First Evangelical Free Church has been in Chicago since 1880 and part of the Andersonville Neighborhood of Chicago since 1925. Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ locally and globally by proclaiming the Gospel in word and deed.
