ECDC and Churches Powering the Community

In Kane County, Illinois where there are more social services per capita than any other county in the country, 18 churches including Elgin EFC are partnering with a one-of-a-kind ministry known as the ECDC (Elgin Christian Development Corporation) to reverse the current of the community. Going beyond the government’s role of “sheltering and feeding under-resourced families without providing a plan to move them into their own home,” the partnership is taking under-resourced families to a whole new level, including their relationships with the church.
