History of CEFC

Covenant Evangelical Free Church started in 1978 as a church plant named Emmanuel Christian Fellowship (ECF) with 17 pioneer members.[3]

Derivation of church name

  • Covenant: The Covenant points to God's unfailing promise of salvation and blessing for mankind, fulfilled in Christ.
  • Evangelical: This reflects CEFC's commitment to the gospel and to the preaching of the same for salvation. An evangelical agrees to the virgin birth, the resurrection of Christ and justification by faith, and is devoted to the inspired Word of God.
  • Free: Each congregation of the Evangelical Free Church denomination has a right, under God, to govern its own affairs.
  • Church: CEFC is a community of believers united in Christ by His Spirit.

Aim

To return the Church to its disciple-making roots through authentic discipleship and intentional disciplemaking so as to reproduce disciples of a certain kind and to multiply them to win the world for Christ.[4]

IDMC Conferences

CEFC hosts the annual IDMC Conference which ministers to pastors and lay leaders from churches in Singapore and overseas.[5]
