What Does "Evangelical" Mean?

The term Evangelical refers to our commitment to the proclamation of the Gospel and to the authority of the 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 the autonomy of each local church and to our form of church government as being primarily congregational. Evangelical Free Churches depend upon the active participation of lay people in the decisions and ministries of each local church.
