Education for Ministry (EfM): Wide Angle

Education for Ministry (EfM) now offers a one-year curriculum to complement the classic four-year program. The Wide-Angle Year introduces participants to EfM Classic and touches on the Old and New Testaments, Church History, Theology, and Ethics. The program still meets weekly for two hours in seminar groups that worship and pray together, discuss the weekly learning material, and reflect theologically. EfM’s online learning platform provides podcasts, videos, art, and essays (rich and modern material) as part of the weekly assignments.

The focus of EfM Classic remains the same: four consecutive years covering the Old and New Testaments, Church History, and Christianity and Ethics.

If it has been a while since you took EfM or if you are new to EfM, now may be the time to join this group.

Here is what people are saying about the revised curriculum:

• “Great content, lots of thought-provoking study, and excellent group discussions.”
• “The richness of using videos, paintings, etc. has expanded how I have engaged with the material and EfM.”
• “Everyone is delighted with the readings (we have people reading all five years, including Wide Angle).”
• “Very excited to use this program. It is fantastic.”
• “These readings brought guidance on spiritual practices I can use. Yes, I can make a difference!”
