For Adults

Why ‘Formation’ and Not ‘Education’? Formation is a process like apprenticeship that goes beyond amassing information. Adult formation engages the whole person - intellect, passions, and spirit - in the never-ending journey of our becoming like Jesus Christ. 
​
​EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY (EfM)
EfM is a lay theological education program.  Through study, prayer, worship and reflection, the seminar group journeys together as they read Scripture, church history and theology. More information.
