EFCC Ministerial Accreditation is a partnership between the EFCC and an EFCC local church, an EFCC arm of mission, or an EFCC-approved ministry in which the God-given gifts that a believer is exercising are affirmed. These gifts may be exercised in any number of ministry roles: senior pastor, local church staff or lay worker, para-church worker, missionary, chaplain, etc. Accreditation enables the local church, the EFCC. and EFCC-approved ministries to affirm the Christian character, testimony, calling, and spiritual maturity of those who carry out ministry within or under the name of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada. Accreditation affirms the presence of spiritual qualities as found in the New Testament (Acts 6:1-6; 1 Timothy 3; Hebrews 13:17; Ephesians 4:11-13; etc). It is also a prerequisite for the EFCC supporting a minster’s legal standing with the local church, district, provincial and national jurisdictions.
