Hurricane Response

The lives of many folks are being turned upside down in the aftermath of the epic storm in Texas. The Crisis Response Team of the Free Church is on site resourcing local churches to bring immediate relief and help in the name of Jesus. 

We can respond by praying, giving and even by going on a relief team.

To be a part of giving, you can make a donation to EvFree's Disaster Relief Fund by texting “Disaster” to 714-699-9994 or writing a check to the church with “Disaster” indicated in the memo line. To be a part of a future team to go and serve, you can email missions@evfreefullerton.com.

Amazing stories are happening in and through the different ministries that take place on EvFree's campus, including International Friends! Carol has been a member of the International Friends ministry for over 25 years. We are thankful for her and others like her who are committed to the goal of sharing God's Word and love to His people.
