Evangelical Free churches in New York

Evangelical Free beliefs and church practice

Evangelical Free congregations do not share one denominational office that can speak for every church in this list. Read each congregation's own statement of faith and membership teaching. Ask about baptism, communion, church leadership and the authority under which the congregation makes decisions.

Read the congregation's own statement

The label helps you find churches to contact. A church's published confession and the answers its leaders give explain what members are taught. Open the church's website from its listing, look for its beliefs or membership page, and bring any unanswered questions to the church office.

Prepare for a Sunday visit

Confirm the current service time and meeting address with the church before traveling. Ask whether children stay in worship, where an accessible entrance is, and whether the church publishes an order of service. Tell the office about an access need privately so someone can meet you at the right entrance.

Before taking communion or applying for membership, read the church's stated requirements. Ask who can answer doctrinal questions and what preparation the church asks of prospective members. Keep the local church's own words with your notes so two congregations with the same label remain distinguishable.
