OVERLAND PARK, KS – The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) announced today the certification of Blue Valley Baptist Church of Overland Park, KS.

ECFA certification is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
    
Blue Valley Baptist Church joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 14.6 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal.  When an organization is certified by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.

“We are pleased to certify a church committed to glorify God by helping people everywhere understand what it means to follow Jesus,” said Michael Martin, president of ECFA.
