Classic and Wide Angle EfM enrollment now open!
New enrollees in Classic EfM, regardless of prior studies, start EfM with Year One (the Old Testament) in the readings in the Christian tradition, then enroll in sequence for Year Two (the New Testament), Year Three (Church History), and Year Four (Christian Ethics and Spirituality).
New enrollees may alternately choose to register for the new one-year Wide Angle course (texts match the themes of the Classical EfM.)
Each path contains 36 weeks of assignments. The Nevada Desert Deanery group meets weekly at Christ Church Episcopal (2000 S. Maryland Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV 89104) for 36 sessions over a period of nine months and then takes a three-month break. We are meeting on Monday nights from 5:30-8:30 pm beginning September 14th. There is typically about 3 hours of homework readings/podcasts weekly.
The yearly fee for the EfM course is $350. The EfM program provides the current path, which is the multimedia syllabus, through Pathwright. Participants are responsible for obtaining the required yearly and Community Gathering texts at their own expense ($50-$100.) You will also need a Bible of your choice.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Certificates:
The EfM program does not provide academic course credits since it requires no graded work or examinations. The University of the South can award Continuing Education Units at the rate of 18 CEUs for each completed year of work. Guidelines for granting CEUs require that the participant be present for
at least 90% of the seminars. The mentor or participant should request written documentation of the CEUs awarded from the EfM administrative office when this is desired.
The School of Theology awards a Certificate of Completion to participants who have completed all four years of EfM: Classic or one year of EfM: Wide Angle.
Registration is now open for EfM: Classic and EfM: Wide Angle – “Following Jesus.”
