This spring the elders of Faith Church are leading us through a process of determining whether to update our Statement of Faith to match a new 2019 statement adopted by our denomination, the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA).
Please read this letter of introduction from the elders to understand why we are proposing this change.
Complete Text of Proposed Constitution Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation Amendments
The primary changes to the Statement of Faith relate to updating wording and our position on premillennialism.
Read Faith Church’s current Statement of Faith.
Read the 2019 EFCA Statement of Faith.
Here is a side-by-side comparison of the two statements, highlighting the changes.
Here is the Overview of Proposed Amendments.
The elders will introduce these changes in our worship services on March 10 and 17. There will be three key meetings for you to attend:
April 14 @ 2:00pm: Town hall meeting to explain the changes
April 21 @ 2:00pm: Congregation meeting open for discussion
April 28 @ 2:00pm: Congregation meeting to vote on the motion to update to the 2019 Statement of Faith
For more information on the key meetings visit the event calendar.
