How do we apply the results of two recent Canadian research reports, www.theefc.ca… and www.theefc.ca… ?

The Parenting Faith research looks at how faith is formed at home and what practical steps families can take to nurture and sustain it, in partnership with their church community. The Influencing Faith Study research looks at the use of social media by young adults and within youth ministries at Canadian evangelical groups.

Join us for this engaging workshop as EFC senior researcher Lindsay Callaway shares key insights from national research.

This session is designed to encourage, equip, and empower you with meaningful, research-based insights you can apply in everyday life.

Everyone is welcome, and admission is free. Save the date, more details coming soon.
