Statement of Faith of The
Evangelical Free Church of America
The doctrinal
position of The Evangelical Free Church of America is summarized in our
twelve-article Statement of Faith.
We Believe:
- The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to
be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings,
the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the
Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life.
- In one God, Creator of all things, infinitely
perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit.
- That Jesus Christ is true God and true man,
having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins according to the
Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into
heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our
High Priest and Advocate.
- That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to
glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men,
regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and
empower the believer for godly living and service.
- That man was created in the image of God but
fell into sin and is, therefore, lost, and only through regeneration
by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
- That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His
Resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation
for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of
the Holy Spirit and, thus become children of God.
- That water baptism and the Lord's Supper are
ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They
are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.
- That the true Church is composed of all such
persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated
by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of
which He is the Head.
- That only those who are, thus, members of the
true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church.
- That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the
Church and that every local church has the right, under Christ, to
decide and govern its own affairs.
- In the personal and pre-millennial and imminent
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this "Blessed Hope" has a
vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
-
In the bodily resurrection of the
dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the
Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious
punishment.

What Does "Evangelical" Mean?
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 writings and the only safe and
sufficient guide to faith and practice.
What Does "Free" Mean?
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.
