What is it?



EFCA Samaritan Way is a ministry designed to help the movement align with the EFCA’s stated mission of "Glorifying God by multiplying healthy churches among all people."



We’re a ministry.  This doesn’t seem too spiritual.  Aren’t we about fulfilling the Great Commission and making disciples?   



Samaritan Way’s motivation is primarily theological.  We believe that reconciliation is the mission of God in our broken world.  The Great Commission will be fulfilled by living out the First and Second Greatest Commandments.




In order to successfully reach the EFCA’s mission, we intentionally created an accepted framework to define reconciliation, track progress, and create systems of accountability in order to facilitate change at all levels of the movement.



What do we do with it?



Use it!  EFCA Samaritan Way is a coaching and consultation resource to implement reconciliation within the DNA of your ministry.

About this video: 
    

What would a place look like if people responded to each other purely based upon their love for Christ, not their gender, age, social class, race or ethnic background?




A place where a stranger from another country would find a neighbor who cared?




Would you live there?




Where a family stuck in poverty would find a hand up instead of a hand out?




Would would a place look like that allowed us to park our own brokenness next to others who are hurt, lost, outcast and misunderstood?




What if that place was the church…your church?




Understand differences and look to unravel prejudices and stereotypes while seeking what we all have in common…our brokenness and need for Jesus Christ. Through Him we grow and prosper as a community of people who care and love relentlessly…and unconditionally.




Reconciliation is a gift from God and it’s our job to accept it. Each one of us has a role to play. Together, the EFCA can become a network of churches that reverse division and multiply Kingdom growth.
