EFM: Education for Ministry


EFM: Education for Ministry

Fertile ground to grow your faith

The Education for Ministry (EfM) program is now accepting new students for the 2021-2022 year. EfM at the Cathedral now has two groups, both meeting on Tuesdays. The evening group meeting from 6:30 – 9 p.m. is now full. The morning group will meet from 9:30 a.m. to noon starting September 7, 2021. The morning group will meet in the Bride's Room in the Latham Building.

Like the mustard seed, we need fertile soil to grow. EfM is the fertile soil and we are the mustard seeds. Learning about the Old and New testaments, church history, and discovering theology is the light shining on the soil, warming it so the seed will sprout.

Bringing the light of what we learn to share in an intimate group setting each week allows for insights and growth — new affirmations and understandings — that can sustain and support us in our lives as Christians living day-to-day in the world.

EfM was developed by the School of Theology of the University of the South to introduce lay persons to theology their clergy studied. We meet in small groups on the parish level. The seminar group is the nucleus of the EFM program. A group consists of six to twelve participants and a trained mentor meeting weekly over the course of a nine-month academic year. The course content includes Old Testament, New Testament, church history, and theology.

For information on tuition, registration, or about EfM in general contact Lucy Wagner at [email protected].

Stewardship and Giving: Support Cathedral Ministries

Generously responding to God’s gifts is a reflection of spirituality and recognition that we are the stewards of his bounty. It is a way of life — something we do day in and day out.

There are many ways to make financial gifts to support the ministries, pastoral care, education, vitality, and growth of Christ Church Cathedral. We are grateful to donors who graciously make one-time gifts, annual pledges, ongoing planned giving, and who find other ways to offer their help forwarding the work of our ministries.

Learn more about how you can get involved and support the Cathedral, or offer your time as a volunteer.
