North American Baptist Conference Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization

FOLSOM, CA  – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of North American Baptist Conference of Folsom, CA.

ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.                     

North American Baptist Conference joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 20 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal.  When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.

“We are pleased to include in our membership a ministry committed to glorifying God by making disciples of Jesus Christ at home and internationally,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.

North American Baptist Conference (www.nabconference.org) is a family of approximately 400 churches with more than 74,000 worshippers in the United States and Canada. Founded by an immigrant missionary, North American Baptists are a diverse group of believers representing many cultures and languages. They are found worshipping in small rural churches, large auditoriums, schools, storefronts, and homes. In addition they have the privilege of bringing the gospel to five continents (Africa, Asia, South America, Europe and North America) through mission endeavors. 

ECFA, founded in 1979, provides accreditation to leading Christian nonprofit organizations that faithfully demonstrate compliance with the ECFA Standards pertaining to financial accountability, fundraising and board governance.  For more information about ECFA, including information about accreditation and a listing of ECFA-accredited members, visit www.ECFA.org or call 1-800-323-9473.
