BIRMINGHAM, AL  – The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) announced today the accreditation of Theopolis Institute of Birmingham, AL.

ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.

Theopolis Institute joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 20 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 teach men and women to lead cultural renewal by renewing the church,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.

Founded in 2012, Theopolis Institute’s courses, conferences, and publications will help participants gain competence to read the Bible imaginatively, worship God faithfully, and engage the culture intelligently.
