| Education for Ministry (EFM) is a four-year theological program for adult laity developed by the School of Theology at the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee. There is a strong EFM group in the Diocese of Oregon. EFM students meet weekly in their own particular parish, in small seminar groups, with a trained mentor, over the course of a nine-month academic year. Most seminar groups begin in September and end in June. Students enroll for one cycle at a time. Groups may enroll in any month from September through May. Each EFM group must be financially viable; therefore, groups must have a minimum of six students. Continuing Education Units (CEU) are granted to participants in EFM at the rate of 18 CEU for each year of study. There are no examinations or papers. EFM is not a course which offers college credits towards a degree.
