Learn more about Education for Ministry! See below for more information.
Education for Ministry (http://www.efmcanada.ca) is a program of theological education for lay people. There are four years of study, but participants commit for one year at a time, meeting in small groups with a trained mentor/group leader.
Participants take what they learn about Scripture, church history, theology and ethics and learn how to bring this knowledge into their own lives and hearts, supporting them in living out a vibrant baptismal ministry in the church and in the world.
Three ongoing groups in the Diocese are welcoming new participants for Sept 2022:
A Wednesday evening group in Montreal at Dio (Montreal Diocesan Theological College). Please contact Nancy Greene-Gregoire (ngreene@acm.org)
A Thursday afternoon group meeting from 1 to 3:30pm in Sutton at Grace Anglican Church. Please contact Tim Smart (revtimsmart@gmail.com)
A Thursday evening group in Lachute at St Simeon’s, and on zoom. Please contact Nancy Greene-Gregoire (ngreene@acm.org)
