OUR

BELIEFS
The Evangelical Friends Church does not advance new teachings or doctrines. Instead, we seek to rediscover New Testament teachings and apply these age-old truths to our lives. As Friends we believe:
  • God is our Father.
  • Jesus Christ is "the Word made flesh" for us.
  • The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Strengthener, and Guide.
  • The Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by Him.
  • A person receives forgiveness through repentance for sins and belief in Jesus Christ as Savior.
  • The mission of the Church is to communicate the Good News of Salvation to people everywhere.
