Credentialing
We are pleased you are interested in ministerial credentials with the Evangelical Free Church of America.
The purpose of a ministerial credential is to:
- Affirm God’s call upon a person’s life
- Verify that this person meets the qualifications and standards for ministry in the EFCA
- Approve this person for ministerial service under the auspices of the EFCA
- Provide legal status in the exercise of that person’s ministry
Additional information about credentials can be found on the EFCA's website.
