Thanksgiving Offering

spend less, give more

Each year at this time, we challenge our church to spend less on holiday shopping and give generously to support Kingdom-building projects.

Giving will open on October 27th, 2026. When you give, please be sure to select ‘Thanksgiving Offering’ from the dropdown!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our congregation, we have met our giving goal! We are so grateful for the gifts we received for these projects.

If giving for the Thanksgiving Offering closed before you had a chance to give, please consider giving to the General Fund (click here to give!). First Free supports missionaries, mission organizations (both local and global), and lots of awesome ministry right here on our campus.

Thank you for your gifts and your faithful support of First Free!

**Please note that all gifts are applied equally to both projects until our goal is met. We cannot designate gifts to one project or the other. If donations to this fund exceed the stated goal, excess funds will be used at the discretion of First Free Church for ministry purposes.

The deadline to give to this year’s projects is November 29.

LOCAL: Mobile Ultrasound Unit for MyLife Medical & Resource Center

MyLife Medical & Resource Center’s mission is to empower men & women to make healthy decisions concerning life, sex, and families by providing free and low-cost tests, ultrasounds, and education. Their services are free to their clients, with no income or residency requirements. 

All too often, MyLife receives phone calls from women who express a need for one or more of our services (especially pregnancy testing and ultrasounds), but who have no way of getting to the Center. Sometimes, they are too young to own their own car and can’t ask mom or dad to bring them, or sometimes they simply don’t have reliable transportation and don’t have anyone to drive them. So, MyLife wants to go to them! They are taking steps toward beginning a mobile ministry where they can take their services (and Jesus) to their clients, making it easier for women to hear the truth about their options with an unplanned pregnancy and being a supportive, caring relationship with the MyLife team.

MyLife Medical & Resource Center is raising money to purchase a specially equipped van to serve their clients. First Free is raising funds for the mobile ultrasound unit that will go into the van.

MyLife has touched many lives in their community through counseling, pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, parenting classes, and material resources. They are eager to broaden their impact and serve even more women!

GLOBAL: Social Media Outreach through Overseas Mission Fellowship (OMF)

There are 1,200 Unreached People Groups in East Asia who need to hear the good news about Jesus.

Broad gospel sowing is essential to all current church-planting movements among Muslims. However, initiating broad gospel-sowing strategies is challenging for local teams in Southeast Asia.

This project gives capacity to local teams by leveraging current technologies and media use and allows for collaborative work with local believers (field partners). OMF networks with groups of Muslim Background Believers (MBBs), other foreign mission groups, and local mission organizations in SE Asia for broad gospel sowing by developing online media to identify spiritually open individuals among unreached people groups in multiple locations in SE Asia. Currently, they have 60+ SE Asian believers/MBBs who are directly partnering with this comprehensive gospel-sowing effort.

This project will be centered on developing social media channels, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and website(s), that will run targeted ads allowing Muslims to discover God’s love and plan for salvation relevant to each individual’s current life circumstances. 

Praise God that OMF has already begun to see fruit from this type of outreach, and join with them in prayer that many more people will be reached!

Thank you for giving generously to support these projects!
