Our Purpose, Mission & Beliefs

Our Purpose

ECFM. ECFM is called to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and to make disciples who will impact their families, communities and the world for Christ. We are committed to seeing Him formed in each believer. We believe that a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the best way to live.

We provide guidance concerning the articles of faith and seek to advance the spiritual growth and enlightenment of our members and community. In addition, ECFM goals include: to promote home and for-eign missions; aid in the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; to educate, prepare, train and ordain Christian men and women for the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
