Changes

Members may leave ECFA at any time; the most common is when a member dissolves as an active entity, merges with another, or voluntarily resigns.  Members can also be terminated from the organization for failure to adhere to one or more Standards (though in practice, they often resign beforehand).  There have been controversies surrounding the effectiveness of ECFA, notably in regards to member Harvest Bible Chapel and its financial dealings with its former pastor James MacDonald, who was terminated by the church's elder board for conduct unbecoming a pastor; ECFA had been warned about Harvest's financial dealings but took no action until forced to do so.

In addition to its "seal of approval" for members in good standing, ECFA also provides resources (financial and otherwise) for members, much of which is available to the general public as well.
