LOCAL IMPACT

We care deeply for our neighbors. We have people who volunteer at Loaves & Fish Food Pantry, and our church regularly supports annual festivals here in Mount Morris. 


We celebrate that our church body consists of people not just from within the village, but also from a handful of nearby communities. EFCMM families have numerous opportunities to glorify God throughout a wide area of Northern Illinois.


Within the State of Illinois, we support eight missionary families and Christian organizations, including Rockford Rescue Mission, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Faith Christian School (Grand Detour), and Hope Life Center (Rock Falls). 

GLOBAL IMPACT

We strive to obey the commission given in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."


We have prayerfully sent our own church members to become missionaries across the United States and around the world. Those of us staying behind joyfully support missions through prayer, encouragement, and financial giving.


We support five United States missionary families outside of Illinois, and support ten missionary families around the world.

Church planting

EFCMM was planted in 1956 when First Evangelical Free Church in Rockford, Illinois, sent leaders and others to help a group of believers start a new church. We felt a call in 2018 to send nearly 40 people to begin Christ Church in Sterling, Illinois. During the process, we received encouragement and support from nearby EFCA and other gospel-centered churches.
God has blessed this new congregation in the years since!
