About First Free
Who We Are
This intergenerational family of believers exists to glorify God by making and maturing disciples of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
During a typical church service, we worship God by making music, reading Scripture and hearing a message (sermon) from our pastor. Communion is served on the third Sunday of each month.
Our Beliefs
We are an Evangelical Free Church in the Twin Cities. Since 1886, we have been unashamedly committed to teaching and understanding the Bible. To read more about our founding and history, ask the Church Office for a copy of our Membership Packet.
