Core Beliefs: The EFCA Distinctives are:
1. The Evangelical Free Church of America is a believers’ church—membership consists of those who have a personal faith in Jesus Christ.

3. The Evangelical Free Church of America embraces a humble orthodoxy in partnership with others of like faith.
4. The Evangelical Free Church of America believes in Christian freedom with responsibility and accountability.
5. The Evangelical Free Church of America believes in both the rational and relational, i.e. the head and the heart, dimensions of Christianity.
6. The Evangelical Free Church of America affirms the right of each local church to govern its own affairs with a spirit of interdependency with other churches.
