"So, if all Christians are called to live out their faith in daily life, we need a solid
grounding in the basics of that faith in order to put that faith into action…and
most of us probably stopped really studying and investigating those concepts
when we stopped going to Sunday school"

These are the words of an EfM participant in USA. IF you want to build a solid ground for your faith consider joining an EfM group commencing on Thursday 9 July at 7pm, meeting by Zoom. Contact Michael [email protected] for more information.

Many New Zealanders believe in God but don't see the church as relevant. Is that you?

EfM offers university level material of The Bible, the history of Christianity, ethics and spirituality. Your seminar group is a place to explore and discuss what you do and don't believe.

EfM encourages questioning. We believe in helping you explore your beliefs - not telling you what you should or shouldn't believe.

Faith is different from knowledge. Faith is about exploring what we believe, knowing there are no hard scientifically provable facts. It is about asking questions and looking at the world and people around us for signs of God at work.

If you want to explore your faith join us tonight at 7:30pm for an EfM information evening

Each week the EfM material is under 3 headings Engage, Respond, Reflect. The 3 things are the essential parts of any effective ministry.

1) Engage - be it with a person, a group, or an issue
2) Respond - show the love of Christ in the situation
3) Reflect - what has this experience shown me about God and God's Kingdom

If you want to join an EfM group and get into this way of practicing ministry join us for a taster Thursday 28 May at 7:30pm on Zoom

This is a call out to all of you who did EfM in the past. What is your fondest memory of EfM?

For me it is simple - meeting Sarah, who is now my wife.
