The Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA) is a Protestant Christian denomination committed to biblical truth, spiritual transformation, and sharing the gospel. Rooted in evangelical beliefs, the EFCA emphasizes personal faith in Jesus Christ, the authority of Scripture, and the importance of local church autonomy. Founded in 1950 through the merger of two Scandinavian free church movements, it now includes over 1,500 congregations across the United States. The EFCA fosters a diverse, welcoming community that values both theological unity and freedom in non-essential doctrines. Its mission is to glorify God by multiplying healthy churches that impact communities with Christ’s love.
