What we do

Calling Evangelicals to greater visible unity in gospel witness
The EFC brings biblical principles to bear on law and public policy and encourages civic engagement. We conduct ministry research – always in partnership. We facilitate national collaboration around abuse prevention, refugee ministries, Indigenous reconciliation and more. And we produce media, resources and events that help Canadians stay informed.
Resourcing
The EFC informs, educates and inspires Canadians with the free magazine Faith Today, various newsletters, podcasts, websites, events such as regional Faith Matters workshops, the new annual Together for Canada event for affiliate congregations, and more.

One of the easiest ways to follow us (for example to learn more about our emphasis on prayer and how you can participate) is to get our weekly email: TheEFC.ca/Update
​​
EFC communications and marketing staff coordinate responses to inquiries from journalists, leading to experts from across our association being quoted in a variety of publications.
​​
EFC staff also hold periodic online prayer gatherings open to the public.
Collaboration
The EFC gathers Evangelicals to advance the gospel together, partnering for effective ministry nationwide among churches, ministry organizations and higher education institutions.
​
The EFC draws together networks and partnerships to meet the needs of communities and our nation. This includes research partnerships studying the changing contexts in the Church and in society. We encourage collaborative efforts among those who work in similar areas of ministry.
​
We tell the stories of Evangelicals, churches and ministries to encourage one another and to promote understanding and dialogue. We celebrate the breadth and depth of evangelical faith and practice.
​
Various EFC staff also present at conferences, church services and other gatherings across the country.
