Proposed Revision of the Statement of Faith

Proposed Revision Notes

Last fall, Greg Strand taught an 11-week series through the Proposed Revision, beginning with an introductory lesson, followed by a lesson on each article. This was also recorded—if you are interested in the recording, please contact Greg Strand (greg.strand@efca.org). This is intended to be another resource for you as you prepare to teach through or to ponder the changes being proposed in this Revision. This is certainly not a “finished product” but it should prove to be another helpful resource for you and others as you prepare to discuss and possibly vote on this Revision this summer at the National Leadership Conference.

To acclimate you to the notes, here is an overview of the key components of what the notes contain:

• List the Proposed Revision article and the parallel SOF article
• Address the differences between the two articles
• Teach what the Proposed Revision article means
• Speak to the ways in which the article has been strengthened
• Respond to reasons why it is important today to emphasis this truth
• Additional resources are included, e.g. questions for further study, longer Scripture texts to preach, memory verses, hymns and choruses
• Appendix 1 includes the commentary on the particular article
• Appendix 2 includes FAQs for each article, which are actual email questions and answers

All of these resources are posted as Adobe PDF documents.
