EFCA adopts a new Statement of Faith

After 50 years, the EFCA just adopted a new statement of faith. The statement of faith is an attempt to distill down the bedrock beliefs of the churches that make up our denomination to their essentials. For example, quizzers may be interested in the section on the Bible.

2. We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.

The statement of faith is worth reading over and comparing against scripture, to see the high regard that the EFCA gives to the Word of God.
