PELHAM – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability announced on Oct. 11 the accreditation of Sav-a-Life Shelby in Pelham.

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

Sav-a-Life Shelby joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by more than 14.6 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 develop a culture of life where abortion is unnecessary and undesirable in Shelby County while offering the hope of the gospel,” said Michael Martin, president of ECFA.

Founded in 1985, Sav-a-Life Shelby offers help and hope through compassionate care and support. Those interested in learning more about Sav-a-Life Shelby and their stewardship opportunities may visit GiverConnect, ECFA’s newest online program, that connects giver’s hearts with trusted members.
