What does Evangelical Free Mean?

The below is an excerpt from efca.org

The term "Evangelical" refers to our faith, our theology. We are committed to the proclamation of the Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, and to the Scriptures as being the inspired, inerrant, authoritative and sufficient Word of God.

The term "Free" refers to our polity, our structure and organization. We are committed to a congregational form of government.

Do I have to send my children to Children's Church if I attend the service?

Not at all, as we welcome you to keep your children with you if you so desire. However, we encourage you to give Children's Church a chance. During the 10:30am service, children age 3 and up through 5th grade enjoy their own exciting and innovative service in the Multi-Purpose Room! After a fifteen minute singing and worship time students break into groups. Three to five year olds use an age appropriate curriculum (Disciple-land) focusing on biblical application while the 1st-5th graders experience the “The Way of the Wise” from Children Desiring God. Students rotate through fifteen minute stations that include a focus on scripture memory, teaching from the bible and application of the lesson. This curriculum uses the book of Proverbs and other bible passages to contrast the way of the foolish with the way of the wise. Children learn about the characteristics and destinations of the foolish and the wise, the meaning of the fear of the Lord, the treasure of wisdom, and the only way to enter the way of the wise--through Jesus Christ.

Can I dress informally at your church?

Many people opt for casual dress attire (slacks and a shirt for men, casual dresses and skirts for women). Others prefer to wear suits or ties and jackets, and our youth enjoy jeans and t-shirts. Any of these are perfectly acceptable, but please wear what you find comfortable and what best prepares you to worship and praise God.
