Outreach Ministries is one way in which First Free Church carries out our mission to make disciples. Our goal to make disciples by demonstrating the Gospel in deed and proclaiming the Gospel in word, serving the world through social reform and evangelistic mission.
Home» Get Involved » Outreach Ministries

Outreach isn’t an event, it starts with practicing hospitality daily. There are many ways we can reach out to others and practice hospitality on a daily basis, such as:

  • how you interact with co-workers.
  • inviting neighbors over for a meal.
  • connecting with new visitors in church on a Sunday morning.
  • bringing a meal to someone who has just been in the hospital.
  • becoming active in a Small Group Bible Study. (Click here for info on Small Groups.)

Family Care

Whether you’re considering adoption or foster care, or would like to support those who do, we know of resources (including the Safe Families program), families with experience, and families in need of respite care such as babysitting, or of physical items such as diapers and clothing.

Refugee Care

Support newly arrived refugees in our neighborhood and city through partnerships with World Relief and Heartland Alliance. Engage in mentoring friendships, ESL tutoring, after-school programs and more.
