Being part of a caring, like-minded community is essential for human flourishing. Empowered Faith Community participants are based on fundamental community development principles. We support those with significant life challenges to understand that they have strengths.

Through this, people are encouraged to share their strengths for their own benefit and for the benefit of others in a supportive, empowering and gospel-centred environment.

These communities promote personal development and strong spiritual growth.

Empowerment, Participation and Community Ownership is central to our model underpinned by proven practices for sustainable long-term flourishing.

EFCs move away from a benevolence and charitable model of service to those living in poverty and toward an empowered and ownership model.
