Community Ministries
We want to be known as a church that is FOR the local community. and we encourage those who call EFC their church home to get involved! Many of our small groups choose to serve together as a part of group life.

Sheridan School
Volunteers from EFC come alongside the students, staff and families of Sheridan School to give support in ways such as donating school supplies, volunteering for the reading program, helping with childcare for PTA meetings each month, donating items to the school store, and helping at the Teacher Appreciation Lunch each spring.
Operation Hope Packs
During the school year, we provide backpacks filled with food for at-risk children. Volunteers spend 1 hour at Sheridan School, preparing backpacks filled with food donated from Midwest Food Bank. Once a month, a volunteer picks up food from Midwest Food Bank and transfers it to the school.
