NORMAN, OK – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Mission Norman of Norman, OK.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Mission Norman 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 spreading Christ's love in Central Oklahoma through works of service and love,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 2005, Mission Norman (www.missionnorman.org) conducts Bible studies at multi-housing sites weekly, where 95% are unchurched. Mission Norman is very evangelistic, always sharing Christ, baptizing, teaching and disciplining. They know that to reach ones spiritually they have to meet their physical needs. Mission Norman does this by providing a food pantry and resources to help with utilities, rent, etc. All of this helps to prevent hunger and homelessness.
