  This church is friendly. When we attend we are treated like family. The sermons are really good and they have a focus on serving in the community which I like.

  The E-Free church is typical of many churches in having pastors who range from very good to excellent, and a fairly horrible congregation. Like many people, I go to church not only hear the pastors, but also to meet the members of the congregation and get to know new people. A church is not like a performing arts auditorium--one doesn't go there just to watch and listen to the professionals up front. I approached about 15 members of the congregation at random over the course of several visits to introduce myself as a new person attending their church, and about 13 of the 15 were very offended and annoyed. The last thing they wanted was to have to greet a new person. They hire pastors for that. They also have volunteers, called ushers, for that. These ushers do a good job and are quite friendly, but a church where 95% or so of the members strongly dislike meeting new people is not a place for a new person to go to look for a church to join. So unless you already have friends at the church or you go to church for reasons that do not include finding new people to fellowship with, I strongly recommend that you avoid the E-Free.

  I attended recently because I was traveling and the 3rd service (contemporary) was the one I could work into my schedule on the way through the city. No one greeted me or recognized me as a visitor, I finally saw the bulletins which were nearly obscured by 2 men chatting (I had to reach between them). People were walking around checking their phones, drinking coffee, or visiting in small groups. I sat alone in a sofa/chair group thinking it might encourage someone to speak to me. I thought I could probably "be ok" with the contemp. svc. because what I wanted was some good preaching. The first song wasn't even over and my head and ears were truly hurting from the decibels and the vibrations. I could not hear anybody else singing--only the noise that came from the platform--performed by several youngish men who looked like they just got out of bed, and a young woman in skinny pants who kept time by patting her leg. The auditorium was dark. I felt like I was in a "club". I couldn't even look around to see my "brothers and sisters" and make eye contact or smile--perhaps they might recognize me as a visitor and react. It was a small crowd so there was ample opportunity to do this--if they'd been able to see me, or I, them. I left before the first song was over. Immediately outside the door was at least 2 men, appearing to me to be ushers. I thought one might ask me if I was OK or not feeling well because I was leaving just a few minutes after the 10:30 service began. Not so. I exited the building, and the door was opened for me by a young woman who was in a conversation with another woman. I had to walk between them. Not even a smile or eye contact. I was driving away by 10:45. All things considered, I won't return. This saddens me. It shouldn't have happened.

  Great combo of bigger church resources with smaller church intimacy. Sermons are very practical. Attendees are friendly and come from diverse backgrounds. This church will support and challenge you. We've searched many churches in Bloomington-Normal before settling on E-Free. We love it!!
