ABOUT US
EFCA churches share a common doctrinal statement and purpose: to glorify God by multiplying transformational churches among all people.
We are a Gospel-centered movement, catalyzing church multiplication across Texas and Oklahoma.
Evangelical Free Church of America. The term “Evangelical” is tied to our belief in the transformative power of the Gospel and the Bible as the Word of God. Click here to review the EFCA Statement of Faith. The term “Free” refers to the fact that our churches operate autonomously, while “Church” refers to the close knit community we work to foster within each region.

OUR VISION
Our vision is to raise up 50 new churches or campuses over the next ten years. In that time, we want to see 50% of our churches birth an ethnic ministry on their campus between 2010 and 2020. Every church should be a Parent Church, a Partner Church, or a Participating Church.
