Finances

The offering is simply what it says it is: something that you individually and we as a church offer up with thanksgiving to God to honor His lordship and authority. It is a gift to the Lord, acknowledging that everything comes from Him in the first place. At Evangelical Free Church we do not pass an offering plate. Those who choose to give do so by putting their offering in a box located in the back of the sanctuary, or by turning it in to the church office.

The gifted funds are deposited into a set budget unless another specific use is stated by the giver. In order to be accountable, we leave our budget and financial statements open for the church to review. If you have questions regarding our finances, you may contact the church office.
