We are ECFA Accredited
Founded 40 years ago by Billy Graham and other evangelical leaders, Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) has grown from a visionary and faithful group of 150 charter members to over 2,600 leading churches and ministries across the United States today.
ECFA enhances trust in Christ-centered churches and ministries through its annual accreditation of organizations based on Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, drawn from Scripture.
ECFA serves as a financial accountability partner to ministries who voluntarily seek accreditation and continue to demonstrate their commitment to ECFA’s high standards faithfully. The standards are set at an appropriately high level to provide the essential guardrails for financial integrity in churches and ministries of all sizes. While admittedly, the standards do not address every potential issue or challenge an organization may encounter, they have stood the test of time in helping thousands of churches and ministries enhance trust and become better stewards of their God-given resources.
Additionally, ECFA promotes financial accountability and best practices through innovative resources, including books and eBooks, webinars, videos, podcasts, blogs, research in best practices, conferences, and more.
“Farming—you can’t do it alone.”
That’s good advice from our South African friend, Buchan. We continue striving to build more friendships for farmers in everything we do.
The Fellowship of Christian Farmers, International welcomes you to explore how you can get involved. Join us to lend a hand in a disaster relief project or join a mission trip. There are dozens of farm shows each month and more than twenty State FFA Conventions where FCFI members interact with high school FFA members about their spiritual walk with the Lord.
You can also join our prayer team with a monthly prayer guide sharing needs from around the world. It is through prayer and practical service that we can encourage and support one another. Thanks to the relationships built with Romania churches and their Pastors over the past 20 years of Mission trips to western Romania, FCFI was in a position to help with an underground railroad for Ukrainian children safely fleeing the violence in Kiev.
Please contact us and submit how you would like to be communicated with, (phone, text, messenger, email etc). Digital communication helps lower printing and postage costs.
Hope to speak or meet with you soon.
Your Brother in Christ,
Dennis Schlagel
FCFI Executive Director Emeritus
