The entire program is comprised of four one-year cycles of thirty-six weekly meetings each.

EfM was developed at and is administered by The School of Theology of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee (Sewanee EfM website), a university run by The Episcopal Church. There are EfM groups all over the world, and around the Diocese of California.

Focused on scripture, study, and theological reflections, EfM empowers participants to deepen their Christian development and discern their callings. Meetings are held weekly on Zoom during the school year.

EfM requires registration opens annually each fall to allow for new members. Details are announced in our weekly electronic newsletter, the Trinity Tidings. For more information, contact mentor Tim Knight or the church office.
