The Staff at E-Free

Rick Wagner - Lead Pastor

“After coming to faith in Christ in college, something deep inside me knew that I was to give my life in helping others know Jesus. Almost 20 years later, that desire is stronger than ever. I have a great desire to help foster a church that is irresistible and relevant in today’s world – reaching out and touching people in our community.

“Wherever you are in investigating the truths about this Jesus, I hope you will find E-Free a place to be challenged to continue your faith journey and put action to your faith."

"I am able to invest in the lives of others. I get to see people accept God's love as reality in their lives and begin a genuine relationship with Him.  Then challenge them with their potential in Christ and give them ways to apply God’s word in their lives.
How awesome is that?"

I have grown in my relationship with God through the teaching and my serving and involvement here at E-Free.  It is rewarding to see our children still living out their faith and serving as well (2 of them in this church!).
