Seeking to study the Bible and how to apply it to your daily life? Education for Ministry (EfM) helps us understand how we are called into relationship with God, neighbor, and creation wherever we are – at home, at work, in all the places we spend time. Learn about this 36-week adult formation program developed by the School of Theology at the University of the South. Experience how we study Christian tradition: the Bible, Christian history, ethics, and spirituality while reflecting theologically on our lives and where God is calling us to live out our baptismal promises in our communities.
