EFM Class
Time: Monday Evenings, from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Place: Vestry Office
Mentor: Laurel Mosteller
The current Education for Ministry (EFM) group was formed at St. Peter’s in September 2009. EFM is a four-year program of study and reflection for adults who want to take a serious look at their faith and their ministry as Christians. The curriculum was devised by Sewanee University of the South and is used by groups all over the world. EFM studies include Hebrew Scriptures, Christian Scriptures, history of Christianity, philosophers and theologians. In addition to the study, the group takes time to look at their own life stories and the meaning of their lives in the Christian context.
EFM groups meet weekly with mentors (not teachers) from September through May. They share laughter, questions, dreams, and occasionally tears as they work on the big issues of life and faith. No question is too basic, no opinion is too outrageous, and no student of EFM comes away unchanged. Scholarship help is available if needed.
