GO LOCAL

Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.  
~Matthew 5:16

When Jesus says to “go into all the world and preach the Gospel” (Mark 15:16), that includes Mid-Michigan! The instruction from Jesus applies to us right here in our own community.

God calls all believers to go outside the church walls and share Christ with their friends, neighbors and co-workers.

The GoLocal Team challenges you to step out of your comfort zone and engage in a deeper level with those in our own backyard.

Golocal north midland family center food distribution

Looking for a unique opportunity to love on our neighbors in the North Midland area? We are in need of 5-6 people a month who would be willing to help pack and distribute food to the North Midland community.

As a church, we want to show the love of Christ to our neighbors–and what better way to do this than by meeting tangible needs in the community?

Whether you can come every month or only one time, we would love to have your help! If you’ve got any questions or if you’d like to sign up to help, you can contact Jennifer Adamcik by calling 989-941-9190.

Go LOCAL FOCUS AREAS

The GoLocal Ministry includes three FOCUS areas, and we encourage you to get involved in one or more of these areas:

  • Community Partners
  • Supporting Our Own
  • Adopted Areas

LOVE LOCAL

In addition to our four ministry areas, in 2018 we launched Love Local. Love Local is the umbrella for planned LOCAL mission outreaches from Midland Free to the Mid-Michigan area, serving in both word and deed. Elements include service projects, outreach, community, fellowship and training.

Visit the GoLocal Wall of Opportunity in the south lobby at the church on Sunday mornings as well.

Go LOCAL VIDEOS

On May 19, 2020 life in Mid-Michigan changed due to heavy rains and flooding from two failed dams. Residents of Sanford, Edenville, Wixom Lake and Midland endured significant damage to their homes and businesses. Yet among all the devastation, God was working and bringing hope to flood victims. Watch as flood survivors and volunteers from Midland Evangelical Free Church share their stories of hope.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm over you.
~Isaiah 43:2a
