Utilising community development and discipleship concepts EFC's aim to see transformation of people within communities of disadvantage. "Lots of churches and people start with a charity or benevolence mindset. They feel yes, we want to provide something to people - which is brilliant, but we get a bit stuck in this space - just providing food or a blanket to someone is not enabling that person top to live a flourishing life.” Empowered faith communities aim to help make the shift from benevolence to empowerment.
