ECFA

Growthtrac Ministries takes great pride in maintaining the highest ethical standards possible. To that end, we do our best to follow the Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship dictated by the ECFA. However, due to the size of our ministry and the prohibitive costs of membership, we are not ECFA members at this time. We do however voluntarily comply with the ECFA standards.

We spend everything we have on providing the best Christian marriage services and resources. And we want to do more of that — with your help.

85% of Growthtrac Ministries' total operating expenses are used to build better marriages.
