  Education for Ministry (EfM) is a program of academic study and group reflection intended to equip lay people for ministry. It is a program of the (Episcopal) University of the South at Sewanee. More information is available here.  St. John’s has an EfM group that meets on Thursday evenings during the academic year. If you are interested in joining EfM, or if you are a returning student, please see Pastor Orr about registration for the upcoming year.
