Creative Ministries Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
MANHEIM, PA – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Creative Ministries of Manheim, PA.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Creative Ministries 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 using the creative arts to communicate the Gospel in relevant ways,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 1984, Creative Ministries (www.jtl.org) owns WJTL FM which broadcasts a contemporary Christian music format to a central Pennsylvania area. Creative Ministries also sponsors numerous special concerts and special events each year with the goal of impacting lives for Christ. The organization works hard to serve and promote other Christian organizations both over the air and at special events. WJTL also participates in many local secular community events that would never allow a preacher but freely allow the same message to go forth if presented in song. Creative Ministries has found the universal language of music to be effective at breaking down barriers and opening hearts.
