Our purpose at East Free is to reach students and develop them into fully devoted disciples who will impact their world.
Christians are not perfect people, but we are people that God is transforming into His likeness. That means that we will be like Him (if we let Him). As Matthew 5:13-14 states, "You are salt of the earth ... You are the light of the world ..." We are salt (that means we add flavor to the world) and light (the world sees us). In the end, we will be way different from the world, and where we were when we first met Christ.
Wednesday Night is designed to give hard core Biblical truth to those seeking to grow closer to Christ. The worship team leads in worship and prayer. The high school students continue with testimony, table games, skits, videos and Bible study. The middle school group has their own activities, games and Bible study.
We meet on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. in the Lower Level.
Ultimately by serving your students we are serving you. Our goal is not to raise your child for you, rather we want to partner with you as you lead your child toward spiritual maturity in Christ Jesus. We also undersatnd that this task is not an easy one. Students today have so many different ideas about god all competing for their attention. Below are serveral great websites designed to assist you as you lead your child toward spiritual maturity in Christ.
