A VISION FOR IMPACT
To be a part of EFI is to embrace our value of fellowship. Our first role as a fellowship is to build and strengthen relationships among leaders. Even to be a member you must first be recommended to us by a current member. We are and will always be about relationships.
We believe that if you are cared for, your ministry will flourish. We believe that growth happens best in a family environment of acceptance and love. Since we primarily focus on relationships and encouragement, we strongly recommend qualified resourcing organizations that major in church growth, developing great systems and helpful strategies, etc.
Our second emphasis focuses on a two-fold outreach, local and global. Locally, we are committed to helping every member seek to impact their community. What challenge is your city facing? What needs do they have? What are you doing to help?
Globally, EFI is a missions organization with missionaries in many countries around the globe. We believe each church should have its own form of global expression. We encourage our member churches to play an active role in our global church planting initiative. That initiative is primarily focused on third-world nations.
Every pastor knows the importance of giving for each member. We believe that it is equally important for churches to give so that each church can have a global impact regardless of size.
Our motto sums it up best: Relationally Connected for Global Impact.
