As seen from County Road 5, this original Oxlip EFC church building was the joining of two smaller Swedish Mission churches from the turn of the 20th Century.  A large addition was added behind it in 1980, which became the new center for worship and fellowship.  Oxlip EFC still consists of a group of hard-working, down-to-earth people who rely on their faith in God for the day to day challenges of life.

Oxlip EFC is the country church with a congregation size that helps you feel welcome and "at home".  Come and join us.  We would be happy to share a cup of coffee with you.

Oxlip Evangelical Free Church is a member of the Evangelical Free Church of America Association.

The Basics

The Evangelical Free Church of America is an association of some 1,300 autonomous churches united by a mutual commitment to serve our Lord Jesus Christ with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Word of God. We are committed to cooperate with one another in ministry and fellowship as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission which Christ has entrusted to His Church. The growing ministry of the EFCA currently extends to some 45 countries of the world.

What Does "Evangelical" Mean?
 
The term Evangelical refers to our commitment to the proclamation of the Gospel and to the authority of Scriptures as being inerrant in the original writings and the only safe and sufficient guide to faith and practice.

What Does "Free" Mean?

The term Free refers to our form of church government as being congregational. Evangelical Free Churches depend upon the active participation of lay people in decisions and direction.
