Care
We all need care.
As the song goes, we all need somebody to lean on.
If you need practical, spiritual, or emotional support, please reach out to us.
Help in times of crisis
We’re here for you! If you are experiencing a crisis, please call us at the number below!

Practical Support
Financial Needs
Our Benevolence Ministry offers financial assistance to those in our congregation who need it. For help, call the church office and we will have a Deacon contact you as soon as possible.
Care for Widows
Financial Peace
You don’t have to be a math wiz or make 6-figures to win with money – you just need a plan! We can equip you to take charge of your finances and live according to God’s financial principles.
Visitation Ministry
We bring the love of Christ to those who are homebound or in care facilities or hospitals and are not able to get out and be an active part of church life.
Funeral & Bereavement
Planning a funeral in the midst of grief can be overwhelming. We will help you with planning for funeral and visitation services held in our facility and offer pastoral care for the bereaved family.
Care Resources
Counseling
If you are looking for godly counsel, we are here to help. When you contact the Care office, we will connect you with the pastor or counselor best suited to your situation. Email care@efree.org to get started.
We maintain a list of counselors who are available to help with ongoing issues or needs and will be happy to refer you. Contact us at care@efree.org.
Wedding & Marriage
Pre-marital counseling helps engaged couples build the strongest possible foundation for their marriage. Contact premarital@efree.org to learn more.
We encourage couples to apply biblical wisdom to their marriages, marked by love, respect, grace, and forgiveness. Through teaching, prayer and mentoring, relational skills are gained that strengthen communication, understanding and intimacy. Contact us at marriageresources@efree.org for more information about classes and counseling.
Planning a wedding is about more than a single day – it’s preparing for a lifetime together. At First Free, we want to help you do both. For more information about planning your wedding at First Free, contact weddings@efree.org.
