Life Groups

Local Community and Discipleship

Life Groups are where real faith meets everyday life. They’re communities where you can open God’s Word, build meaningful friendships, and grow as a disciple of Jesus. New groups launch quarterly, but we invite you to contact our Adult Ministry office to join a group any time during the year.

Bible Studies

Biblical Focus in a Multigenerational Setting

A variety of group Bible studies for women and men, each centering on a specific curriculum and typically following a roundtable discussion format. These studies are a welcoming place for you to deepen your understanding of the Bible while building community.

Adult Communities

Biblical Communities for Seasoned Adults

Adult Communities are close-knit communities within our larger church. They meet in church classrooms on Sunday mornings, typically after our Classic Service. Each group emphasizes discipleship through community building, biblical teaching, connecting prayer and compassionate giving.

To learn more and join a community today, please call 815-877-7046 or email adultministry@firstfreerockford.org.

Rooted Young Adults

Ages 18–25 | Year-Round

Rooted is our community for young adults and college students. We gather weekly on Mondays to grow in our relationships with God and each other. Find your identity centered in Christ, pursue God-given dreams and goals, have fun together and ultimately enjoy a deep support system during all the transitions of young adulthood.

Starting Point

In this 4-session class, you can explore questions about God and Christianity. Discussion leaders walk the group through topics like beginning faith in Christ, prayer and reading the Bible. It’s a low-pressure environment and we encourage hard questions!

Baptism

We offer believers’ baptism several times a year. While we don’t believe salvation depends on this, it’s a wonderful act of obedience to Jesus to make a public declaration of your faith.

Membership Matters

Membership Matters classes are a great way to learn more about First Free Rockford—who we are, what we do, what we believe and how you can be involved. You’ll also hear about our history in the Rockford community and meet the people who oversee our core ministries.
