Pray

"Because people in need matter to God." As part of the ministry of the EFCC, benevolent financial assistance may sometimes be provided to individuals or families who are in a time of crisis or who are experiencing financial or material needs. This help could be for medical situations, to alleviate poverty, and to provide food and shelter and other basic needs.

Give

ServeCanada and ServeBeyond, EFCC's two missional arms, exist to help our local EFCC churches extend their mission reach both locally and globally.

In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, charity. In all things, Jesus Christ.

The Evangelical Free Church of Canada (EFCC) is an association of 140+ churches and numerous missionaries, including mission agents, united by a common commitment to serve the Lord Jesus Christ, a common Statement of Faith, a shared Character and Calling, and a commitment to the Word of God.

A New ServeBeyond Project

ServeBeyond has recently formed a partnership with the Children’s Shelter of Cebu (Philippines) to minister to children experiencing homelessness and those in need of stable housing. This initiative closely aligns with the mission and vision of the EFCC, which seeks to guide children towards a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, enable their discipleship, and encourage them to extend their outreach to others. Unfortunately, the Cebu Children’s Shelter Society of Canada is coming to an end. However, with the support from the EFCC, contributions to this vital ministry can continue.

Endings & Beginnings

As we enter the Christmas season and look ahead to a new year, a few things may appear differently in our EFCC Prayer Guide. Instead of our usual collection of specific prayer requests, we invite you to focus on praying for the wider EFCC family. Pray for our churches, pastors, and missionaries connected to EFCC. We encourage you to set aside intentional time to lift these individuals and ministries in prayer. To get hold of the list of EFCC leaders and their respective churches and ministries to pray for, click on the link below.

Pray for the EFCC family

Have you noticed this?

All across Canada, pastors are retiring at a far faster rate than they’re being replaced, and leaders in many churches are looking for help. Project: LEAD is our plan to address this for the EFCC. What is it? By providing generous bursaries for ministry students attending one of our partner schools, and equipping leaders in our churches through EFCC Leadership Training, we are working to meet the needs of our local EFCC churches.

Ministerial Accreditation

Seminar 1: This three-part seminar builds on EFCC Orientation. It explores how EFCC history, ethos, and polity work in the local church context and how we ought to handle disagreements over practices linked to “in non-essentials, charity.”
Seminar 2: This seminar will explore the role of the Bible in ministry in the 21st century in the EFCC in light of the history of the church. Topics include the nature of Scripture as the book of the church.
Seminars 3 & 4 has since been added.
