GO LOCAL OUTREACH

GO LOCAL OUTREACH

GO LOCAL

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.

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

If you have questions or would like to speak to someone personally, please email golocal@midlandfree.org.

Upcoming events

VOLUNTEER WITH GO LOCAL

Did you know that God has gifted you in a unique way (see 1 Corinthians 12)? We invite you to use your spiritual gifts, talents, and time to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those in our community by serving.

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

  • Community Partners
  • Supporting our Own

You can view all of the GoLocal volunteer opportunities here.


LOVE LOCAL

In addition to our two 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.

Be watching for more information each year on how we reach our community by helping with their tangible needs through the LoveLocal day.

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.
