Valleyview Evangelical Friends Church

868 West Williams Street
740-369-7208

The Evangelical Friends Church organization has a single purpose: helping local churches meet the spiritual needs of the people in their communities. To this end, the World Outreach Center in Canton, Ohio, serves the 14,000 EFC-ER church members, working to fulfill Jesus’ Great Commission to mobilize, equip, and send workers to spread the love of Jesus.

EFC-ER actively participates in a larger group of Friends, known as Evangelical Friends Church – North America (EFC-NA) as well as the world-wide movement, Evangelical Friends Church International (EFC-I).

Our Purpose:

 - Friends believe in a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, as a foundation for living.“If you believe that Jesus is the Christ- that He is God’s Son and your Savior – then you are a child of God. And all who love the Father love His children, too.” (I John 5:1)

 - Friends emphasize putting beliefs into action, thus demonstrating loving concern for others. “Jesus said, ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.'” (Matthew 5:44). This is our example today in a society steeped in hate, revenge, and violence.

 - The Friends Church offers a rich fellowship for you and your family, including many outlets for fruitful Christian obedience.
