Education for Ministry

Education for Ministry (EfM) is a program of theological education created by Sewanee’s School of Theology. Through individual and group study, worship, and the process of theological reflection, participants in an EfM community move toward a greater understanding of the fullness of God’s kingdom and discover opportunities for responding to their own call to ministry. View the list of active EfM groups in the Diocese of Virginia.

For more information about EfM in our Diocese, please contact EfM coordinator Jane Dowrick at efmvirginia@gmail.com.
