	EfM PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Education for Ministry, affectionately known as EfM, is a program of theological education-at-a-distance of the School of Theology of the University of the South. Students sign up one year at a time for this four-year program. It covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy, and theology. The seminar group is the nucleus of the Education for Ministry program. A group consists of six to twelve participants and a trained mentor meeting weekly over the course of a nine-month academic year. The program grants a certificate at the completion of the four years and 18 Continuing Education Units for each year's work.
