Next Steps
Get Connected at Hastings Evangelical Free Church
Welcome to Hastings E-Free! When you visit a new church, you check out lots of things – is the preaching biblical? Is the worship meaningful? Are the nursery and bathrooms clean? (we all notice!) But those things aren’t enough because, after all, the church is people and God made you for community. So taking the next step beyond the Sunday morning worship service is essential. Here are three ways to take a next step:
- Attend a Welcome Breakfast. A couple times each year we gather to meet new people, learn more about what is going on at E-Free and eat!
- Try an Adult Bible Fellowship – this is our version of adult Sunday school. We have 6 groups that meet on Sundays 9:45-10:45 am.
- Join a Small Group – these are groups that meet throughout the week at various times to study the Bible, encourage one another and pray.
