How Earning an EFCA Credential Strengthens You and Your Church with Greg Strand

Earning an EFCA credential can bring tremendous value to not only a ministry leader, but an entire congregation. However, pursuing one understandably often gets put on the back burner. Greg Strand, Executive Director of Theology and Credentialing for EFCA, explains why it's not just the destination, but the journey of going through this process that can strengthen both the doctrinal integrity and moral purity of the pastor and/or church leader. At 36:30 we talk about the new "onramps" EFCA is opening up to get candidates "in the door" easier. At 51:00 minutes we talk about the uniqueness of the significance of silence in EFCA, and at 59:20 you'll hear how you can take the first steps in this important process. This episode is for pastors, associate staff, elders, and anyone who wants to know how partnering with EFCA in this way can strengthen your ministry.
