The Evangelical Friends Church – Eastern Region (EFCER) is an evangelical denomination of Christians who trace their beginning back to George Fox and the Religious Society of Friends. Based in Canton, Ohio, it is composed of 95 churches and church plants, and is part of Evangelical Friends Church International (EFCI). Near to the church's administrative offices is the campus of the affiliated Malone University. The EFCER was previously called the "Ohio Yearly Meeting" (OYM) and should not be confused with the Ohio Yearly Meeting of the Conservative Friends which has kept the name and OYM abbreviation.
