About Us

What makes us unique?

The name "Westmark" is the name of a township in rural Phelps County, however, the church is located in Garfield township! Many years ago, there was a "Westmark" rural school and post office, but the church began before the current nearby towns were established along the railroad line. Very old Nebraska maps may refer to a "Westmark" community.

The rest of our name, "Evangelical Free Church" refers to our affiliation with the Evangelical Free Church of America in 1966. Before that time, Westmark Evangelical Church was an independent congregation.

By "Evangelical" we refer to our commitment to the Word of God as our only safe and sufficient guide to faith and practice.

By "Free" we refer to our form of congregational church government as it emphasized a contrast to the "state" church systems of the Scandinavian countries of our origin.
