Vineyard USA Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization

STAFFORD, TX – The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) announced today the accreditation of Vineyard USA of Stafford, TX.

ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
    
Vineyard USA 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 accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.

“We are pleased to accredit a ministry committed to see thousands of churches with Vineyard theology and practices multiplied around the world,” said Michael Martin, president of ECFA.

Founded in 1982, Vineyard USA (http://Vineyardusa.org) is a God-initiated, global movement of churches with the kingdom of God as its theological center.
