In 1950, delegates from 275 congregations, representing more than 20,000 members, gathered in Minneapolis to vote and affirm the merger between the Swedish and Norwegian-Danish Evangelical Free Church Associations, forming the Evangelical Free Church of America.

In 2025, more than 1,000 EFCA pastors, leaders and missionaries gathered in West Des Moines, Iowa, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the EFCA.

In honor and celebration of the 1950 merger, the attendees at EFCA One 2025 recreated the original 1950 Merger photo. That new photo is available to view and download via the link above.
