Mission work
ECM is currently active in the southern province of Carinthia, and in the cities of Linz and Dornbirn. Our emphasis lies in equipping leaders in order to help churches become autonomous, helping churches to reach out into their community and in youth work.
In Linz one of our projects is an international church plant reaching out specifically students, ex-pat workers and asylum seekers.

ECM longs for...
An Austrian is no longer automatically a Roman Catholic, that time has passed. More and more Austrians resign from their church membership and search for happiness in their new found wealth, different forms of 'new spirituality' and occultism. Young people, especially, are seriously searching for fulfillment in their lives.

ECM longs to see that the Gospel becomes relevant to them again. Through church planting, church development and youth work, the missionaries try to show the invaluable worth of a life with Christ.
