The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) has announced the accreditation of Hope Within Ministries of Elizabethtown.

Hope Within Ministries joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by more than 14.6 million donors, that have qualified to display the ECFA seal. When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.

Founded in 2002, Hope Within Ministries has the vision of a local community in which physical, spiritual, and emotional needs are met; hope is prevalent; love for one another abounds; and healthy, wholesome lifestyles are the norm.
