Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability

Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability Enhancing trust in Christ-centered churches and ministries since 1979. Hurt and hopelessness cannot win. Let ECFA come beside you. Because together, we triumph.

ECFA members do incredible work in the name of Christ—sometimes in
local communities, other times in the darkest corners of the earth. No matter what triumph looks like for an organization, ECFA is an
indispensable leader and partner, helping organizations maintain a
healthy and trusted reputation to effectively reach the world for Christ.

Michael and Brittney recently traveled to Melbourne, Australia, for the CMA - Advancing Ministry Effectiveness Conference, joining ministry leaders from around the world to explore how strong governance and leader care help steward God’s reputation.
 
Through panels and workshops, they were encouraged by the CMA community’s passion for supporting ministry leaders and inspired by accountability organizations advancing this mission globally.

A great few days at the Citygate National Conference in Grand Rapids! 🙌

We loved connecting with ECFA members, meeting new friends, and having meaningful conversations with ministry leaders from rescue missions across the country. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, snapped a selfie, and shared how God is working through your organizations!

Minister tax rules can be complex, and one of the first questions to clarify is simple but important: who is considered a minister for tax purposes?

This clip offers a helpful starting point for church and ministry leaders navigating payroll, tax, and compliance questions.

Praying for our members is a privilege we hold with care.

Each month, ECFA members share prayer requests with us — sometimes for big needs, sometimes for everyday challenges. Every request matters.

As we pray, we are reminded that this work is bigger than ECFA. God is active in ministries, churches, and communities across the country, and we are grateful to serve our members in this simple but meaningful way.

Sometimes the most impactful "yes" starts with knowing what to say "no" to.

In this clip, Julie Wilson shares a key finding from Women Doing Well's research: purpose is one of the strongest drivers of a woman's generosity.

When women have clarity around their purpose and passions, they're often better equipped to make intentional giving decisions—leading to generosity that is more joyful, meaningful, and aligned with what matters most.

We've loved learning from Women Doing Well throughout this series. Follow Women Doing Well for more research and insights on women and generosity, with new findings coming in the months ahead.

By 2033, one of the largest wealth transfers in history is expected to take place.

In this clip, Julie Wilson of Women Doing Well shares several surprising research findings about how generational beliefs around money and financial decision-making are formed — and why those beliefs often change more slowly than the movement of wealth itself.

For ministries and nonprofits, the next few years present an important opportunity to think intentionally about stewardship, trust, and how generosity conversations are shaped for future generations.

Leadership can be meaningful and heavy at the same time.

Many pastors, ministry leaders, and Christian CEOs know what it feels like to keep serving while quietly carrying burnout, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, or the pressure to achieve. This reel is an invitation to name what is happening, reduce the shame around getting help, and remember that healthy leadership includes tending to your emotional health.

You don’t have to do this alone. Take a step toward help, counseling, safe community, and healing.
