Living the Mission—Here, Near and Far

At EFCC, missions isn’t just something we support—it’s something we live. From local outreach right here in Chico to partnerships across the U.S. and around the world, we’re passionate about sharing the hope of Jesus everywhere. We also create opportunities for individuals and families to step into the mission field themselves through local service projects and global trips. In the past, we’ve served in places like Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Russia, and South Africa—and we’re just getting started.

Local Missions

Caleb and Alexius Alldrin

(CRU)

Caleb & Alexius seek to engage college students in the Bay Area with the Gospel, a hope often hidden in this fast-paced, disillusioned culture. There is a great need in America’s cities for the body of Christ to bridge racial, cultural, and economic barriers with Christ’s love. We hope to empower and equip students to live into their identity in Christ and be mobilized to steward their gifts toward the Great Commission.
