Education for Ministry

Want To Become A More Effective Minister?

Education for Ministry (EFM) is a theological education program of the School of Theology of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. The program is four (4) years in length covering the Old Testament, the New Testament, Church History, and Twentieth Century Theology.

EFM provides a comprehensive, experiential education in the foundations and message of our Christian faith.

EFM is for the laity of the Church. Every Christian receives the call to Christ’s ministry at baptism. EFM provides the basics of a theological education in order to develop knowledge and confidence about the ministry we all share.

EFM teaches you how to think theologically, deepens your faith and your understanding of our Christian heritage, and provides you with a new confidence to be Christ’s minister.

Andy Atkinson, a mentor for EFM, is seeking persons interested in beginning the program. Commitment is made on a year by year basis. Although the group decides when and where to meet, this group is designed to meet after the work day. The program runs from the end of August through early May.

If you are interested in finding out more about the program, please contact Andy at 228-8727 or by email at contact@andyatkinson.com.
