Who We Are

WHO WE ARE

 

People often wonder about that busy church in the midst of the cornfields.  Some are surprised to discover that Monroe Free is associated with the larger denomination called the Evangelical Free Church of America.

 

The EFCA is an association of some 1,500 autonomous and interdependent churches and church plants united by a mutual commitment to serve our Lord Jesus Christ under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Word of God. We are committed to cooperate with one another in ministry and fellowship as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission which Christ has entrusted to His Church. The growing ministry of the EFCA currently extends to some 50 countries of the world.

 

We are “Evangelical” because we believe in the Good News of the Savior Jesus Christ who came to earth to save sinful mankind and offer them the hope of life everlasting.  We believe the Scriptures to be the inspired, inerrant, authoritative and sufficient Word of God.

 

We are "Free" in that we are autonomous and congregationally governed.  “Free” is an affirmation of our polity, structure and organization.
