Through study, prayer, and reflection, EFM groups move toward a new understanding of the fullness of God's kingdom and of the Bible. EFM is a course, created through the University of the South, in theological reflection: learning to see our lives through the lens of faith. Christ Church has openings in the Monday morning, Monday evening and Wednesday morning groups. Participants meet for 2½ - 3 hours each week. Contact Jenny Beaumont at 704-714-6945 to hear more about EFM.
