Frequently Asked Questions
What is EurECA?
The European Educators’ Christian Association (EurECA)
aims to serve God by providing a forum or meeting-place:
- for Christian educators across Europe, including both
leaders of Christian education organisations at national
or regional level and also individual Christian teachers
who are concerned to relate to colleagues across Europe;
- for mutual encouragement and for the sharing of ideas
and resources;
- through annual conferences, a Newsletter and Prayer Guide
which are published two times a year, this website and informal
contacts.
EurECA aims to encourage the development of strong national
organisations for Christian teachers, Christian schools, Christian
parents and school board members, rather than to become an
alternative to these organisations. It seeks to serve
Christian educators in the whole range of educational contexts,
including home education, state schools and Christian schools.

What is EurECA’s
basis of faith?
EurECA’s basis of faith is the Statement of Faith of
the European Evangelical Alliance, to which EurECA belongs.
Evangelical Christians accept the revelation of the triune
God given in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments
and confess the historic faith of the gospel therein set forth.
They here assert doctrines which they regard as crucial to
the understanding of the faith, and which should issue in
mutual love, practical Christian service and evangelistic
concern:
- The sovereignty and grace of God the Father, God the Son
and God the Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation,
redemption and final judgment.
- The divine inspiration of Holy Scripture and it's consequent
entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters
of faith and conduct.
- The universal sinfulness and guilt of fallen man, making
him subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
- The substitutionary sacrifice of the incarnate Son of
God as the sole and all-sufficient ground of redemption
from the guilt and power of sin, and from its eternal consequences.
- The justication of the sinner solely by the grace of God
through faith in Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
- The illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying
work of God the Holy Spirit.
- The priesthood of all believers, who form the universal
Church, the Body of which Christ is the Head, and which
is committed by His command to the proclamation of the Gospel
throughout the world.
- The expectation of the personal, visible return of the
Lord Jesus Christ, in power and glory.
