  • Children and an adult celebrating with joyful expressions, hands clasped in prayer.

    Discuss your child’s growth and development.

  • Group of smiling children and adults sitting on the floor, raising their hands, in a meeting room with chairs and tables.

    Experience prayer in community with your child.

  • A man sitting at a table with two young boys in a classroom or playroom. One boy in a red and white shirt is holding a paper, while the other in a blue shirt is looking away. The table has toy tools and equipment. In the background, other children and adults are engaging in activities around the room.

    Deepen your relationship with your child.

  • A group of seven people, including a man holding a baby, sitting around a conference table in prayer with their eyes closed, some with hands clasped.

ECFFF is a safe and welcoming space for parents to talk, share, and receive support.

At ECFFF, we believe that a child’s first and most important teachers are their parents.

Our mission is simple—connect parents with their peers and empower
them to raise their children as followers of Jesus.
