What is the ESFRBC?

Fall, Winter and Spring Bible Conferences are held with the Annual Business meeting occurring during the October (Fall) Conference. Many other rallies, workshops and special conferences are provided for youth, adults, pastors throughout the year. Rev. Craig Golden is State Representative (Endicott, N.Y.). The Council of Ten oversees the program of the Fellowship and are elected to a two year term of office. A chairman, secretary and treasurer are appointed by the council yearly.
