The
Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA)
Is
an association of some 1,400 autonomous churches united by a
mutual commitment to serve our Lord Jesus Christ with the guidance
of
the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Word of God. We are committed
to cooperate with one another in ministry and fellowship as we seek
to fulfill
the Great Commission which Christ has entrusted to His Church. The
growing ministry of the EFCA currently extends to some 48 countries
of
the world.
The term Evangelical
refers to our commitment to the proclamation of the Gospel and to
the authority of Scriptures as being inerrant in the original autographs
and the only safe and sufficient guide to faith and practice.
The term Free
refers to our form of church government as being congregational.
Evangelical Free Churches depend upon the active participation of
lay people in the decisions and directions.
