PrimeTimers are heading up to Stanford for another exciting tour. On Thursday, September 18, our cars will leave church at 9:30 AM, pick up at Spring Lakes at 9:45 and plan on arriving at the famous Stanford Memorial Church by 11 o’clock.

After that we’ll lunch at Arby’s, El Camino Real and S Bernardo, Sunnyvale, around 1:30 (ordering off their menu) and start home by 2:30.

Womens Ministries

Posted in categories General by Church

Our hope is that every woman would love God
with all her heart, soul, strength and mind,
live her life as a reflection of that love,
and that joy would overflow into the lives of others.

Anyone interested is invited to attend Women’s Ministries activities and events. Our purpose is to encourage women to grow closer to God. We strive to uplift one another, be compassionate and share our faith.

Our events and activities provide fellowship and opportunities to invite friends, family and neighbors. But more than “events” our focus is the connecting of women for the building up of His body and kingdom.

We encourage women to grow in their spiritual walk with the Lord through Bible study classes, currently joining our all-church Bible study. A special women’s bible study also takes place every summer.

Throughout the year we have special events such as our annual retreat, coffee nights, movie nights, teas, trips, brunches, walks and crafts. Please check back regularly for current events and activities.

1 Thessalonians 5:11a
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up…

EFCA History

Posted in categories General by Church

The Evangelical Free Church of America was formed in 1950 by the merger of two church bodies: the Swedish Evangelical Free Church and the Norwegian-Danish Evangelical Free Church Association. Both groups had been birthed in the revival movements of the late nineteenth century.

The Swedish group had its formal beginnings in Boone, Iowa, at a conference held in October of 1884. In that same year, two Norwegian-Danish groups began to worship and fellowship together in Boston, Massachusetts and Tacoma, Washington. By 1912, both the Swedish Evangelical Free Church and the Norwegian-Danish Evangelical Free Church Association had been formed.

Those two associations, representing 275 local congregations, were formally joined together as they gathered for a merger conference in June of 1950 at the Medicine Lake Conference Grounds near Minneapolis, Minnesota. The international and national offices of the EFCA have been located in Minneapolis since the merger took place.

Dr. E.A. Halleen, who had served for 28 years as the president of the Swedish association, was elected as the first president of the newly formed Evangelical Free Church of America. His one-year term crowned a brilliant ministry career as a pastor, teacher, evangelist and church leader.

In 1951, Dr. Arnold T. Olson was elected president. He had served as the president of the Norwegian-Danish association for six years, as chairman of the merger committee and as the first moderator of the EFCA. Under his leadership, The Evangelical Free Church of America broke the boundaries of its ethnic background and flowed into the mainstream of the evangelical movement. Dr. Olson served with distinction as the president of the EFCA for twenty-five years.

Dr. Thomas A. McDill became the third president of the EFCA in 1976. His pastoral and administrative gifts were used by God to significantly strengthen the church during an unsettled and challenging time in American history. The movement grew dramatically under his leadership both in numbers and in its spiritual influence.

Dr. Paul A. Cedar served as the fourth president of the EFCA from 1990 until 1996. Dr. Cedar brought a passion for prayer, spiritual dependence, and evangelism to his leadership role. In 1996, Dr. Cedar left the EFCA to become the first full-time president of Mission America, a national networking and evangelism ministry.

Dr. William J. Hamel became the fifth president in June of 1997 and serves currently in that role.

Statement of Faith of The Evangelical Free Church of America

Posted in categories General by Church

The doctrinal position of The Evangelical Free Church of America is summarized in our twelve-article Statement of Faith.
Download this Statement of Faith in pdf format.

We Believe

  1. The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life.
  2. In one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  3. That Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
  4. That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.
  5. That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is, therefore, lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
  6. That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and, thus become children of God.
  7. That water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.
  8. That the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the Head.
  9. That only those who are, thus, members of the true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church.
  10. That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church and that every local church has the right, under Christ, to decide and govern its own affairs.
  11. In the personal premillennial and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this “Blessed Hope” has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
  12. In the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
