our faith statement
We believe...the scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
We believe...there is one true God revealed in three persons...Father, Son and Holy Spirit..known as the Trinity.
We believe...in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, as God's Son, He was both human and divine.
We believe...though originally good, man willingly fell to sin ushering in evil and death, both physically and spiritually into the world.
We believe...every person can have restored fellowship with God through trusting in Jesus Christ, through faith and repentance, to become their personal Savior, which is called salvation.
We believe...and practice, as a church, two ordinances. The first is water baptism by immersion after the repentance from sin by the believer and receiving Christ's gift of salvation. The second is holy communion or the Lord's supper, which is a symbolic remembrance of Jesus Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.

Ethical Standards
If you are requesting an ordination with the Evangelical Christian Fellowship, you will also need to agree to accept the following Code of Ethics.
The Evangelical Christian Fellowship Church is a nondenominational ministry whose ministers are dedicated to declaring the love of God to a world that needs to know that each person has worth and dignity in Him. That He has a good plan and blessed purpose for their life. I understand that I will remain in good standing with Evangelical Christian Fellowship by contacting them every six months and advising them of changes in my address. I realize that if I fail to do this, I will not be considered in good standing with Evangelical Christian Fellowship. If an inquiry is made regarding the minister's standing, I give ECF permission to answer that question.
Code of Ethics and Ethical Standards
Ministers are fully responsible for their ministerial decisions and actions.
Ministers will do no harm.
Ministers will always consider those they serve first.
Ministers will only practice within the scope of their training, knowledge and experience.
Ministers that are not competent in an area are urged to seek continuing education and training.

Being found guilty in a court of law of an offense that compromises a minister's suitability in a ministerial role will be considered misconduct and his license will be revoked.
