  • An "Education for Ministry" (EfM) distance learning course, taught locally, accredited by University of the South: Sewanee School of Theology, will start in September! This course is like an intense, weekly bible study that gets into scripture, church history, theology and ethics for 36 weeks per year. It's a great way to get an introduction to seminary-type coursework, develop the background needed to preach and teach at Epiphany, and pursue ordination to the diaconate in the Episcopal church. Talk to Kelly now if you're interested for the fall! Tuition fees are usually $375 per year, scholarships available (pay what you can). At the end of the four years, students receive a certificate of completion from Sewanee.
