Are you seeking a deeper understanding of your faith and a stronger sense of how God is calling you to serve in the world? Across the diocese, Education for Ministry (EfM) groups are forming and we invite you to consider joining us! EfM is a small group program from the School of Theology at The University of the South and combines study, prayer, and theological reflection in a supportive community. Click here to learn more information about EfM.
The program consists of four years of study for the certificate, or a new (and very special!) Wide-Angle study that is just one year long. No long-term commitment is required. Participants enroll one year at a time, and scholarships are available. Contact Diocesan EfM Coordinator, Michelle Thomas, at [email protected] for more information.
A list of groups around the diocese this year:
