Who we are
Evangelical Free Church of the Palouse is a Christ-centered, Spirit-led community that exists to enjoy and share the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. We are a people shaped by God’s story—rescued by Christ, united by the Spirit, and growing together in love. Our aim is not merely to attend church but to be the church: a people who reflect the unity of the Trinity through one-anothering, Bible-saturated relationships. We gather not to be served, but to build one another up so that the world might know the Father sent the Son and loves us as He loves Him.
Our E-Free Story
What began in 1969 as six families meeting in a living room has grown into a thriving ministry reaching the Palouse and the world. Originally gathering at the Whelan Grange Hall, the group grew rapidly and officially joined the Evangelical Free Church of America in 1971.
From the start, our church has been deeply connected to the university community. Early leaders founded local Christian bookstores and campus ministries, establishing a legacy of outreach that continues today. As our congregation expanded, we moved through several locations—including Gladish School and Grand Avenue—before settling into our current home on Airport Road in 2011.
Today, we are a body of believers made alive in Christ, testifying to God’s goodness as we seek to share his love with our community and beyond.
Our Mission:
Raising worshipful, caring, disciple-making servants of the Lord Jesus Christ as we reach our community and the world.
