Where do I park?

If you are attending the GAYLORD CAMPUS, simply follow the drive way up to our main parking lot. The Main Entrance is the first set of doors.

If you are attending the SAULT CAMPUS, the parking lot is located right across the street from the church building.

If you are attending CHURCH ONLINE, please feel free to park in your own driveway...LOL.

YES! Whether you attend the Gaylord or the Sault Campus, we desire that each child have a life changing experience with God in a safe and fun environment. We have something for all ages from Nursery to 6th grade. For more information about this exciting program click here.

What does a Typical Service Look Like?

Each service lasts about 65 minutes with thought-provoking and engaging messages based on the Bible. High-energy worship music or the Classic Hymns (the Gaylord campus has a traditional service at 9:00am). Fun teaching for your kids and we can't forget great coffee and cookies!!!

How do I know where to go?

That's a great question! It's very simple. When you walk through the doors here at E-Free you'll be greeted by our Hospitality Team. Just ask! They are here to help you get to where you are going. Another way is to stop by our Welcome Center in the Hub.

What should I wear?

We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! We think you'll fit in no matter how you dress.

Am I expected to give money in the offering?

If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money in the offering. If you consider E-Free your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to E-Free. You can give by check or cash during the service, or you can set-up an online giving account by clicking here.

WHAT WE

BELIEVE

OUR MISSION

We are committed to MEETING people right where they are geographically, culturally, and spiritually. You are welcome just as you are! Then MOVING them to where God wants them to be.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to saturate all of Northern Michigan with the gospel of Jesus Christ and the teaching of word of God. That is what brings about change in someone's life.

GOD

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory.

JESUS CHRIST

We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, one Person in two natures. Jesus – Israel’s promised Messiah – was conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.

HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that the Holy Spirit, in all that He does, glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. He convicts the world of its guilt. He regenerates sinners, and in Him they are baptized into union with Christ and adopted as heirs in the family of God. He also indwells, illuminates, guides, and equips and empowers believers for Christ-like living and service.

SALVATION

We believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation. It is only through God’s saving work in Jesus Christ can we be rescued, reconciled, and renewed.

THE BIBLE

We believe that God has spoken in the scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority in our lives. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.

THE CHURCH

The true church composes all who have been justified by God’s grace through faith alone in Christ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ, of which He is the head. Jesus mandated two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the means of salvation, when celebrated by the Church in genuine faith, these ordinances nourish the believer.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU
