What are eFam Groups?
We believe heart change happens in family groups over time. eFam is short for Eikon Family Groups. eFam groups gather weekly in homes and are a small group of people within Eikon Church that do life together. Unlike a traditional Bible Study or Church Small Group, eFam is not limited to a demographic or season of life such as age, gender, or marital status. Families come in all shapes and sizes and so do our eFam groups! Sometimes they study The Bible together, but they also play card games, go bowling, eat dinner, and attend the milestone celebrations of other members. They are designed to be long term and a place where you can share in God's mercies together with fellow believers. If you have kids at home, they will be just as much a part of your group as you and we look forward to the long-lasting relationships they will develop through the other members of your eFam Group.
