Education for ministry (EfM)
Our EfM class currently meets on Tuesday nights in the Guild Room under the co-mentorship of Jim Johnson and Carmel Birdwell. This is a lay theology course that asks a four-year commitment of its participants. The EfM year runs parallel to that of a typical academic year. Participants enter prayerfully and with the rector's blessing, and each pays annual tuition for the curriculum. The University of the South School of Theology administers Education for Ministry mentor training, course curriculum, texts, and materials, and completion certification.
