Who can attend an EFI Conference?
EFI Conferences are designed specifically for our pastors, their leadership teams, whether paid staff or dedicated volunteers, and their invited guests. These events are not open to the general public.
Our annual conference brings the EFI family together to deepen connections and unite in purpose, living out our motto: “Relationally Connected for Global Impact.”
We look forward to what God will do at Leverage2026!
