Evangelical Free Church of Canada

We are delighted and grateful to be able to announce that
Shaun Wick is our new EFCC President!

At the Special General Meeting (SGM) held online on September 20, 2025,
there was only one motion: the election of Shaun Wick. This SGM had what
we believe to be the highest turnout of delegates the EFCC has experienced
to date (certainly in the last 20 years), and the greatest representation of local
churches ever seen: 110 out of the 147 churches that comprise the EFCC family
of churches. It’s good to see so many people eager to take an active role in the
future of the EFCC.

Shaun’s official start date is October 1, 2025.

A Time for Gratitude

October marks a changing of seasons. We see it all around us in creation, and experience it in our lives, our churches, and indeed, in our EFCC family. This month offers us a time to reflect on God’s unchanging nature and to give thanks for His faithfulness to us amid changing seasons. Let us be still, give thanks, and pray. – Shaun Wick (EFCC President)
In a tangible act of gratitude, our invitation is to set some time aside to pray for, and potentially support, the work of TearFund Canada.

Let us give thanks!
