The EFCA History, Theology and Polity course is considered the baseline for any/all of the credentials in the EFCA. If one desires to minister in the EFCA and be licensed and eventually receive their Certificate of Ordination or Certificate of Christian Ministry, this material is mandatory.

In this course, attention is paid to history, polity, doctrine, missionary outreach, and current trends. Attendees are challenged to consider these distinctives in relation to their own concepts of ministry context and potential.

Attendees will become familiar with the heritage and distinctives of the Free Church in order to appreciate its present structure, ministry, and mission.

Participants will envision how God might use them in furthering his kingdom through the Free Church.

Participants will fulfill one of the key requirements for credentialing in the EFCA.

EFCA East is pleased to be offering the History, Theology and Polity Course in October at Lancaster EFC.
