== Purpose, Aim or Mission of the Group: ==
Music can warm the soul and bring us closer to the Lord! Free Spirit is a group of people who aim to enrich worship through music - and sometimes have some fun with other types of music as well. Free Spirit is regularly part of the worship at the Glen Waverley Uniting Church, but also likes to be part of worship with other congregations from time to time.

Free Spirit is self-funding; each member contributes $1 per week, used to buy music and cover other expenses.

Free Spirit operates under a privacy policy in accordance with Glen Waverley Uniting Church guidelines.
