EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY (EfM)
Deepening Faith, Building Community
What is EfM?
Education for Ministry (EfM) is a unique, small-group study and theological reflection program designed for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their faith and its role in everyday life. EfM is rooted in the belief that everyone has a ministry, whether in their home, workplace, church, or community. Through guided study, group discussion, and personal reflection, EfM empowers you to explore your faith, understand your calling, and engage with the world in a meaningful way.
