About Us

Erie Evangelical Free Church exists in order to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known.

Our Core Values

We Love Jesus

Everything we do and everything we are is built around a dedicated love for Jesus Christ. Our work as a church and the conduct of our individual daily lives are a grateful response to His glorious offer and act of salvation.

We Care for One Another

The beauty of the body of Christ is that it gives us an opportunity to care for one another. We are not just fellow church goers, but family. Therefore, we constantly love and seek the best for one another as we share in this journey of life and faith.

We Serve our Community

The church is to be a lighthouse to the community. Therefore, we are committed to being a people that do all we can to make our community a better place to live, work, play, and worship so that the glory of Jesus Christ will be evident to the watching world around us.

We Share the Gospel

We have the power to change our world through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are passionate about sharing the joy and excitement of our faith with those around us. We do this through personal outreach, relationships, and our support of both local and global missions.

What We Believe

In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity. – Augustine

About God

About The Bible

We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.

About The Church

We believe that the true church comprises all who have been justified by God’s grace through faith alone in Christ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ, of which He is the Head. The true church is manifest in local churches, whose membership should be composed only of believers. The Lord Jesus mandated two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which visibly and tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the means of salvation, when celebrated by the church in genuine faith, these ordinances confirm and nourish the believer.

About Christian Living

We believe that God’s justifying grace must not be separated from His sanctifying power and purpose. God commands us to love Him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor and justice for the oppressed. With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed.

Christ’s Return

About Christ's Return

About Eternity

We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the gospel by turning to Him in repentance and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that God will raise the dead bodily and judge the world, assigning the unbeliever to condemnation and eternal conscious punishment and the believer to eternal blessedness and joy with the Lord in the new heaven and the new earth, to the praise of His glorious grace. Amen.
