Governance
Constitution and Bylaws
In addition to our Statement of Faith, we agree to practice our faith and hold certain theological positions as one denomination. Individual EFC churches agree to common practice within the denomination, but are free to choose varying practices unless specifically stated in our EFCS Constitution and Bylaws.

Ministerial credentials are conferred through ordination, which serves as a denominational affirmation of personal character, ministry competence, and pastoral calling. Ordination provides recognition and accountability by EFCS without conferring special powers or privileges.
