ELK RIVER
Our Elk River church is where Free Grace United originally started. Though it is currently our largest church, we still have that church family feel and are able to connect with each other and grow in faith during our weekend worship experiences and midweek Bible studies. In addition to being our oldest and largest location, it is also where we broadcast from every Sunday, exclusively to our YouTube. We offer a great gospel-focused kid’s church during every service, modern worship music, and grace-based Bible teaching. Come as you are! We are a casual place to explore God at your own pace.
Service Times:
Saturdays @ 5 pm
Sundays @ 9 & 11 am
