Friends of EMCC

The Canadian Centre for Christian Charities (CCCC) understands that running a charity is complicated. There are always new issues to consider in terms of government regulation, human resources, fundraising, governance, best practices, and other aspects of operating a charity. CCCC serves over 3,200 charities by providing affordable resources that help them operate in an exemplary, healthy, and effective way.

CCCC is committed to serving the needs of Christian charities across Canada by providing practical, expert resources for charity administration and leadership. They also offer a variety of affinity programs to help you save money, access key services, and serve your staff better.

By midlife, you would think things would be clearer than this.

It's ironic – after decades of living, new and deeper questions surface.  You used to have answers for most everything, but not now.  You sure could use some clarity. The CREST Leadership Center is committed to helping mid-life adults find clarity for the second half of life.   

Research shows that your best contribution will likely come after the age of 40.  But less than one third will find that significant contribution – most will flatline or be frustrated in the second half of life.

There is a critical window of opportunity that occurs at midlife, typically in your 40s and 50s, when if you choose to intentionally pursue development, the success of your life is greatly improved.

Your life is worth the investment.

We work together with a broad base of denominations, churches, and ministry organizations in Canada to do joint research, to strategize how better to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, to partner together in mission, and to seek the common good of people in our neighbourhoods, across Canada, and around the world. The EFC also represents an evangelical voice in various interreligious contexts and dialogues. Finally, we seek to encourage, inspire and equip Christians in Canada through publications and resources.

Ledge Leadership works with young adults to develop wholistic, team-centred leaders in a challenging and relational environment.

Ledge has been very instrumental in the on-going development of our YouthBuilders teams which travel across the country as a resource to local church youth ministries.
