Rooted Young Adults
Ages 18–25 | Year-Round
Rooted is our community for young adults and college students. We gather weekly on Tuesdays to help each other grow in our relationships with God, each other and the church family. 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 Starting Point classes, 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 don’t mind 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 current ministries.
First Free Rockford is a multi-generational church that celebrates and humbly shares the love and hope of Jesus Christ. Our Adult Ministries is here to serve you and cheer you on in your walk with Jesus Christ. Whatever your age and stage in life, you can find community and deepen your faith together. Let us know how we can help.
