Join a Healthy Family of Churches on Mission for Jesus
Biblical. Balanced. Better Together.
Trying to start or lead a church on your own can be challenging.
If you’re not connected to a healthy family of churches…
→ Your resources and impact will be limited.
→ You’ll be on your own when the tough times hit.
→ You’ll be constantly reinventing the wheel.
→ You’ll have no one to call when you get stuck.
We can help!
We currently serve 75 congregations throughout Texas and Oklahoma.
We are one of 17 regional districts in the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA).
Our Mission
We START and STRENGTHEN churches by equipping and mobilizing church leaders for local and regional gospel impact.
“So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.” (Acts 16:5)
Starting Churches
We provide a robust set of field-tested systems and resources to come alongside church planters and established churches as they partner together to get a new congregation off to a healthy start.
Strengthening Churches
We provide pastors and church leaders with the type of resources and relationships needed to be healthy and effective in leading their churches towards maximum gospel impact.

Gabe deGarmeaux
Because of the EFCA TX-OK District you don't have to go it alone as a church planter and pastor. I'm thankful for the opportunity to be invested in and to invest in others in the district as we seek to see the fruit of the gospel grow in our own lives and through the work of churches.
Jaron Jones
The EFCA TX-OK was instrumental in our church plant getting started and growing. The district provided me with essential leadership training, organizational development insight, plus lots of encouragement and support at some of my lowest moments as a planter. I now have the support I need when I have questions about pastoral ministry, balancing family and church life and other resources for growing our church, while maintaining my joy in the Lord.
Paul Hodi
Our journey began with no prior experience in starting a church, simply a sense of God's calling. The EFCA helped us make this calling a reality. We were met with helpful people, resources, wisdom and experience. Starting a church is not easy. Do not try it alone. Reach out and build stronger, together.
