LifeBUILDERS Accredited by National Financial Accountability Org.

The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) announced today the accreditation of LifeBUILDERS of Detroit, MI.

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

LifeBUILDERS joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 14 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 restore dignity and provide hope to the residents of Regent Park, a Northeast Detroit neighborhood,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.

Founded in 2006, LifeBUILDERS (http://www.lifebuildersdetroit.com) accomplishes their mission by empowering their youth with life skills and providing opportunities to grow and learn in a safe environment, by reclaiming an entire neighborhood from the effects of disinvestment by providing high quality affordable housing, and by building a community of shared values, trust, and hope for the future, all grounded in the truth of God’s Word.
