Something special happens when we gather with our ministry peers who can understand our work and all its challenges and rewards, perhaps more than anyone else. That’s what the EFC’s Presidents Day is all about. You’re invited! We hope you can make time in your busy schedule for this time set apart to connect with each other and with the work of the EFC as we serve you as you serve in Canada.
Every year, the EFC gathers the leaders of EFC affiliate organizations for Presidents Day. Whether they are officially titled president, CEO or something else, we consider the leaders of the denominations, educational institutions and ministry organizations affiliated with the EFC to be the “moral owners” of the EFC – the ones EFC board and staff directly represent as we engage in various activities in society and among the Canadian Church at large.
The depth and breadth of conversation and the personal interactions that occur between ministry peers at Presidents Day is unique and we believe critical for this time in our history. These connections matter. We’d love to have you there.
