Church Doctrine
Which of these would best characterize your church's position on “miraculous gifts” (gifts of healing, prophecy, word of knowledge, tongues) of the Spirit?
These gifts ceased with the death of the apostles or the completion of the New Testament canon.
These gifts still exist, but I’m skeptical of the ways they are often expressed, and I do not actively encourage their use.
These gifts still exist; therefore, I encourage people to express them appropriately.
Other (please specify).
Which best describes your church's position on women in ministry in the local church?
Egalitarian: There ought to be no differences in ministry roles based on gender.
Complementarian: There ought to be some differences in ministry roles based on gender.
Other (please specify).
All EFCA churches are congregational in their governance (church polity). How congregationalism is lived out varies from church to church. Which model best describes your church's understanding of congregationalism?
The church is governed by corporate discernment of God’s will through the entire congregation on all matters.
The church is governed by corporate congregational discernment of God’s will led largely by the lead pastor.
The church is governed by corporate congregational discernment of God’s will led largely by a team of pastors/elders.
The elders have the exclusive role of discerning God’s will for the entire congregation.
The EFCA commitment to live and minister within the “significance of silence” framework (i.e., we will debate but not divide over certain nonessential doctrinal matters) is a strength.
