Are you looking to deepen your faith?
Do you want to know more about the Bible, Christian Tradition, and Church History? Are you hoping to understand how your personal experiences and beliefs bring you closer to God and God’s people?
If “yes,” EfM (Education for Ministry) may be for you.
EfM is a four-year Christian Formation program (taken one year at a time) founded and administered through the School of Theology of the University of the South at Sewanee. Through study, prayer, worship, and reflection, EfM seminar groups journey together through scripture, church history, and theology.
A seminar group can be comprised of one or two mentors and up to twelve participants. The group meets up to 36 times during the course of a year. Years 1 & 2 study the Hebrew Scriptures, the Gospels, and the New Testament. Year 3 looks at Church History. Year 4 studies Christian ethics and systematic theology, developing and enhancing their own practice. Wide-Angle is a 1-year “taste” of the traditional four years of the program.
Most groups start in September and finish in June. The rewards are deep, moving, and transforming. It is one of the few places where you can talk openly about your beliefs and stories of faith without judgment. Evolving, growing, changing, and maturing into our lives with Jesus is the purpose.
We look forward to hearing your voice among us.
