GRPC has now been received as a member of ECFA, Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. The ECFA is an accreditation agency dedicated to helping Christian ministries earn the public’s trust through adherence to the Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship.

This is an outstanding acheivement as GRPC is the only church in Delaware currently with this accreditation. Being a member of ECFA gives our church an extra layer of security and accountability with regards to our fiscal management. ECFA’s Standards of Responsible Stewardship focus on board governance, financial transparency, integrity in fundraising, and proper use of charity resources. The process for becoming a member is very detailed and requires strict financial compliance with the Seven Foundational Pillars.

What this means to us is that we have now been sealed by the top organization in the world for assuring its contributors that their money is spent appropriately, that the organization and its leadership is rooted in and governed with integrity, and that their money is spent on the right things and in the right way.

We would like to especially thank Scott Winchester, our Business Manager, who diligently guided us through this process, inclusive of the required audit and a host of other details to gain this valued seal. You may go to www.ecfa.org to learn more about this significant accomplishment.
