We are providing materials for those interested in teaching/preaching through the Proposed Revision. Some beginning work was done at one of the seminars at the National Leadership Conference this past June. You can read those notes here: http://www.efca.org/about/media/sof-tools-resources.pdf

We will also be teaching through the Revision this fall quarter (12 weeks - introduction, 10 articles and conclusion) in an adult class in one of our local EFCA churches. Those sessions will be taped, and both the lecture and the notes will be made available through the EFCA website in January 2008.

What additional resources would you find helpful? Please let the Spiritual Heritage Committee know in the comments section, or send an email message to: president@efca.org

On June 29, 2007 the National Leadership Conference overwhelmingly approved, by written ballot, the adoption of Transitional Rules for Implementation of a Revised Statement of Faith. As you will recall, the EFCA Board of Directors submitted a motion to the Leadership Conference for adoption of Transitional Rules governing the implementation of a revised Statement of Faith if the EFCA Statement of Faith is ultimately revised by the 2008, or subsequent, Leadership Conference. Transitional Rules numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7A, 7B, and 8 were adopted by the Conference without change from that which was submitted and recommended by the Board of Directors. Transitional Rule #7C, pertaining to the faculty of Trinity International University, was amended by floor action at the time of the business session. In addition, Transitional Rule #9 was amended by floor action, at the business session, to add a third sentence so that this Transitional Rule would apply, specifically, to all District Superintendents.

The entire set of Transitional Rules, as adopted by the Leadership Conference, is now available here ( and on the EFCA Web site): http://www.efca.org/about/media/sof_transitional_rules_adopted.pdf

This Proposed Revision with Scripture References is a "working document." This means the Spiritual Heritage Committee will continue to add Scripture references to each article. Even at this draft stage, you will find this version helpful in expanding your understanding of the Proposed Revision. You can download it at the following link:
