Education for Ministry (EfM)

Education for Ministry (EfM) is a small-group program (6–12 participants) that combines theological study, reflection, and discussion. In addition to the traditional four-year program, a new one-year option, Wide Angle, offers an introduction to EfM without a long-term commitment.

Our EfM group will meet Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, September 2, 2026–May 26, 2027.

Registration deadline is Sunday, August 16.

We need at least six participants to offer the class, so please sign up soon. If minimum enrollment is not met, the class may have to be canceled.

For more information or to register, contact Barb Parmeter in the church office at (830) 693-2822 or webminister@trinitymarblefalls.org
