Adult Ministry
at MEFC
Milaca Free Church's doors are open wide to people from all backgrounds, regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey. Our various ministries present an opportunity to worship God and connect with others.
Adult Ministry at MEFC encompasses a variety of ministries. We have Small Groups, Women’s Ministries and Men’s Ministry. Below you can find more information on each of these and how you can be a part of MEFC.
Small Groups
Small Groups at Milaca Free Church are all about doing life together. As we go deeper into our relationship with God we realize the need for deeper relationships with those around us to encourage us, empower us, and push us to greater spiritual depths. Small groups typically meet twice a month and involve a discussion based on the previous week’s sermon or book study, prayer, maybe even meal sharing but always strives for lifelong friendships.

If you have specific prayer requests you would like remembered, please contact the office: office@milacafreechurch.com
Adult Bible Communities
Jesus began a people movement that is centered around community. To facilitate the building of relationships at MEFC, we have Adult Bible Communities--a place where you can, in a relaxed atmosphere, get acquainted with other believers, and learn applicable Bible truths together.
The ABC (Adult Bible Class) Ministry will be starting up once again, Sept. 8 starting at 9 AM. We are excited about the two class offerings for Fall! One of the classes, led by Dick Ahlberg, will be a continuation of the Bible Project, where we are continuing a survey of each of the books of the Bible. We will be starting with the book of Joel and plan to finish the Old Testament before Christmas. This class is designed for those who are interested in learning God's plans and purposes as revealed in the Old Testament. Our second class, taught by Randy Johnson, is a follow-up from last year's class, "Holy Living in an Unholy World" by Rev. Erwin Lutzer. This class will concentrate on the application of principles for holy living in the midst of a deteriorating society.
