EBF Council
We gather to discern together, support one another and dream new dreams
UPCOMING
Council 2025
24-27 September 2025, Jordan
This year is especially meaningful for us as we celebrate 75 years of EBF mission and ministry.
EBF was formed at a time of great turmoil in the region. Since our inception, we have been woven together for peace. Our unity has been a gospel witness to a divided world.
We invite you to join in the ongoing conversation that shapes our response to God’s mission of freedom, justice, peace and hope in the region.
This anniversary gathering will be a special time to reflect, learn, and explore what this calling means for our futures.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 30 June 2025
All necessary information available within the registration form.

The EBF Council which meets annually in September is the main decision-making body for the EBF. The Council is made up of representatives of the Unions, IBTS Centre, members, and partner mission organisations.
It usually numbers between 120-130 delegates and its meetings are also a time for worship, inspiration and informal sharing and renewing of friendship between members.
