Our culture is confusing, so it's more important than ever to know where to turn for sound answers on the things that matter most. Our pastoral team has selected the following recommended resources that we trust will help you grow in understanding, wisdom, and faith. And it should be noted that a recommendation here is not a blanket endorsement, nor an endorsement of everything the author may have ever said.

Evangelical Convictions is essentially the systematic theology book of the EFCA, and seeks to give clarity to the theological convictions contained in that Statement-spelling out what is affirmed and what is denied (and what is not addressed). Beyond that, it expounds these convictions-helping the reader understand and appreciate the wonderful truth contained in this brief and concise confession. Quite simply, the goal in formulating this new Statement of Faith was to set forth "sound doctrine that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God," which he has now entrusted to us (1 Tim. 1:10-11). Available at Amazon in paperback or Kindle.
This book is also provided free of charge on the EFCA website as either a downloadable PDF, or as a free streaming Audiobook.
The most widely used systematic theology textbook of the last 30 years with over 1 million copies sold, Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem has clear explanations, an emphasis on each doctrine's scriptural basis, and practical applications to daily life. Available at Amazon as hardback, Kindle, Audio book, or CD.
The slimmed down, streamline, lay version of Grudem's much larger Systematic Theology (above). Covers a vast array of theological topics, but written in an accessible way that our Pastor once used to teach Bible doctrine to 8th graders. A great reference for beginners and the experienced alike. Available at Amazon as a paperback or Kindle.
Pastor Chris calls this "Seminary in one volume," containing thousands of helpful footnotes, articles, background, history, language tools, and introductions to every single book of the Bible. This is an invaluable resource in the translation most often used in our pulpit that will deepen your understanding and faith for decades to come. Available at Amazon in several versions, including hardback, genuine leather, and smaller personal and student editions.
