Welcome!

Whether you are a long-established Christian, a new believer, or someone just checking us out, we believe First Free can be a church home for you – a place to belong and a place to grow!

We offer something for the whole family on almost every Wednesday evening, September - May (6:30 - 8:00 p.m.). View our upcoming event calendar here.

First Free Adults

New to First Free? Join one of our on-site Growth Groups (September - May)! When you enter through our Main Lobby doors on Wednesday night (6:30 - 8:00 pm), a member of our Welcome Team will be ready to guide you to one of our many Growth Groups for adults. New Growth Group studies begin Wednesday, September 4, 2024!

Wednesday Night Men's Growth Group

Begining January 14, 2026

Behold the King — A Study of the End of All Things

Led by Pastor Kevin Labby

Join us for a Christ-centered journey through what Scripture teaches about the end times—the return of Christ, final judgment, bodily resurrection, and the renewal of all things. We’ll anchor ourselves in what Christians clearly confess together, approach areas of disagreement with humility and brotherly charity, and draw firm lines where speculation runs beyond God’s Word. This isn’t about charts or predictions, but about strengthening hope and shaping faithful lives as we wait for our King.

Wednesdays, 6:30–8:00 PM | January 14 – May 13, 2026 (No meeting April 1 – Holy Week)

Wednesday Night Women's Growth Groups

Beginning January 14, all Women’s Growth Groups will gather together for a nine-week study of the Sermon on the Mount with Bible teacher Jen Wilkin.

Each Wednesday evening (6:30–8:00 PM), we’ll meet in the Auditorium to watch the teaching together (about 40 minutes), then break into your usual small groups for discussion, prayer, and connection. The study will move through Matthew 5–7, exploring Jesus’ words on blessing, prayer, relationships, trust in God, and the kind of life He calls His people to live.

January 14 – March 11, 2026
Wednesdays | 6:30–8:00 PM
Watch together in the Auditorium → Discuss in your regular groups

This special season of learning and conversation will provide a meaningful way for us to grow in the Word and encourage one another through the winter months. We look forward to walking through these weeks together

Can't make it Wednesday night? No problem!

For more information about our on-site Growth Groups and how to get involved, please contact Pastor Kevin Labby.

Some of our members also lead private Bible study groups in their homes. If interested in learning more, please contact the Church Office at 412-678-6655.

First Free Students (Grades 6-12)

New students are always welcome! Meet us in the Upper Room or gymnasium for time in the Bible, games, snacks, and fun with friends from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. We believe in creating a loving atmosphere in our group where Jesus is central and no one is excluded. We also participate in regular service projects, attend special concerts and events, summer missions trips and seasonal retreats. Any student who attends will find a blend of fun and opportunity for growth. Questions? Contact Pastor Alex Ielase.

First Free Kids (through Grade 5)

Your child will love Awana, our Wednesday night ministry for children. Awana is a Bible-based program that helps children learn about God and His plan for their lives. We use Bible teaching, encourage Bible memorization, and arrange games that build confidence and foster teamwork. Children meet from 6:30 - 8:00 pm according to age in four groups, where they experience small group friendships:

- Puggles (2 year olds), as of Aug 31
- Cubbies (Ages 3 – 4), as of Aug 31
- Sparks (Grades K – 2)
- Truth & Training (Grades 3 – 5)

You can pre-register for AWANA here!
