Credentialing


Credentialing within the EFCA serves multiple purposes:

  • Affirm God’s call upon a person’s life

  • Verify that this person meets the qualifications and standards for ministry in the Evangelical Free Church of America

  • Approve this person for ministerial service under the auspices of the EFCA.

  • Provide legal status in the exercise of that person’s ministry

It is our desire to serve you well and to make your credentialing experience affirming, encouraging, and rewarding. We are praying with you that this would be a fruitful season in prayer, Scripture & disciplemaking as you share with others what you discover & apply through His Word.

Please feel free to call or email Ashley with any questions. We are here for you every step of the way!

Faithfully in Christ,

Ashley Haferman

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
