Education for Ministry is a program for adult Christian Education that combines the study of scriptures, Christian history, and theology with a focus on ordinary experience in order to discern God’s presence in one’s life. Our program comes from the Episcopal Seminary at Sewanee, which has become famous for educating adults to see God acting through their lives as well as developing knowledge of scripture and theology.

The Promised Land: Living for God Where Culture is Influenced
Thursday, Aug 08, 2024, 11:00 AM11 a.m. – 12 p.m. or 6 – 7 p.m.
Thursdays, August 8 – September 5
This Bible study will center on the gift of the Promised Land to Israel and the impact it had on the people of Israel and their mission. We will consider the Jewish people, Abraham and his arrival in this land, the crossing of the Jordan and the first rulers of the people called judges. We will also consider why God put you where he did and the opportunities he has placed before you as a follower of Christ. To sign up, email Tim Smith at [email protected].
Israel's Mission: Becoming a Kingdom of Priests
Thursday, Sep 12, 2024, 11:00 AM11 a.m. – 12 p.m. or 6 – 7 p.m.
Thursdays, September 12 – October 3
In this study, we’ll look at Israel's mission to become a Kingdom of Priests in a prodigal world. Though the time and place have changed, the question remains same: how has God called his people to be in the world but not of it? What is our purpose? Join us as we re-discover Israel's mission to become a kingdom of priests and its implications for our lives today. To sign up, email Tim Smith at [email protected].
