Education for Ministry
Love our adult formation? Interested in taking your spiritual education to the next level? Education for Ministry may be what you're looking for!
What is EfM? Education for Ministry (EfM) is a unique four-year learning certificate program in theological education based upon small-group study and practice. EfM helps the faithful encounter the breadth and depth of the Christian tradition and bring it into conversation with their experiences of the world as they study, worship, and engage in theological reflection together.
When is it? Monday evenings 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm, October through May.
Why? To explore your values and faith in the context of a community of believers and to grow into a more knowledgeable Christian.
Join the many other EfM graduates at Christ Church of the Ascension!
For more information, please email mentor Rev. Jean Hawkins at jean.hawkins@ccaaz.org.
