What is the EFCA Ministerial Association?

The EFCA Ministerial Association is a membership based organization.  Full memberships are available to those with an EFCA ministerial credential.  Associate memberships are available to those who serve in pastoral roles in an EFCA church.  It exists to provide benefits to its members and support EFCA Pastoral Care Ministries.  

What  benefits?

Benefits include an annual subscription to the publication "Ministerial Forum" and reduced fees for a variety of services (Ministerconnection) and events (Midwinter Ministerial).  You are invited to participate in "Pursuing Excellence" (a program designed to reward lifelong learning) and other initiatives of the Association.

How am I supporting Pastoral Care in the EFCA?

A portion of the annual dues supports the pastoral care of EFCA pastors with particular emphasis on the "Recovery Church" ministry.  You can learn more about the Recovery Church Ministry by clicking here.
