Welcome to First Christian - the Freedom Church
Come as you are!
A Message from Our Pastor
First Christian — the Freedom Church is a community that cares.
We worship the Triune God on Sunday mornings at 10 AM. We read the texts appointed for the day as read by so many other Christians throughout the world. We sing with glad hearts and pray for all the concerns of the day. We are thankful, filled with hope, and trust that the Holy Spirit is present with us. We are a little church with a big heart as we follow what Jesus calls us to do: Love God and Love Neighbor. When we LOVE the way Jesus commands, we can’t help but respond to the need in the world. Consider making a visit and getting to know First Christian. Maybe it’s a good fit for you? We are a community that will love unconditionally. You — and all of us — are so, so loved by God!
Come visit. Come as you are!
Pastor Knute
Sunday Worship is at 10:00 AM, with coffee, tea and fellowship following the service.

The food pantry is open on Saturdays from 10 am to noon.
Please reach out to us if you have a concern or need so we can share it with the community or at least include it in our prayers.

How You Can Help
Ladies Guild
Women's Fellowship
There are people in and around Freedom who together are the Ladies Guild. Many gather on Wednesdays each week from 9 AM to 2 PM to sew and quilt (bringing a bag lunch for the noon break). With a goal of making 200+ baby quilts each year given to the Birthing Center at Memorial Hospital, the group raises the money for baby quilt materials by selling beautiful crafts, quilts, and homemade wares. There is a need for all ability levels of quilter/sewers and there is plenty of goodness to enjoy on Wednesdays. Find out how you can be involved.
