Arctic Barnabas Ministries Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
KENAI, AK – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Arctic Barnabas Ministries of Kenai, AK.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Arctic Barnabas Ministries joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 35 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 strengthening and encouraging pastor and missionary families ministering in remote parts of Alaska,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
