Education for Ministry is a program of theological education by extension for lay people. There are four years of study, but participants commit for one year at a time, meeting in small groups with a trained mentor. The program combines academic study with integrative components to help participants take what they learn about Scripture, church history, theology and ethics into their own lives and hearts, supporting them in living out a vibrant baptismal ministry in the church and in the world.
One of the greatest theological insights of the past two decades by most denominations of the Christian Church is that every baptized person is called to the ministry of the whole people of God. The EfM program provides people with the education and training they need to carry out that ministry.
