Education for Ministry (EfM) Community Gathering March 23

February 25, 2026

Are you looking to deepen your faith?

Do you want to know more about the Bible, Christian tradition, and church history?

Are you hoping to understand how your personal experiences and beliefs bring you closer to God and God's people? 

If "yes," EfM (Education for Ministry) may be for you.

You’re invited to our EfM Community Gathering on Monday, March 23 from 5:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. to experience a seminar with us. Join us and see how study, prayer, and reflection help us discern where God is in our lives and what God is calling us to do.

Mentors Katie Balke and Laura Jenkins will be happy to talk with you about why EfM is such an important part of our lives and to answer your questions. If you’re interested in joining us, please contact Laura Jenkins for information on the reading assignment for March 23.
