OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN

CHURCH SCHOOL

During the school year, Christ Church operates a Church School for children in pre-school through junior high school. This year's curriculum focuses on "Godly Play" and involves a Montessori-based program which teaches our young people about relationships. Contact: Bette Shields, 2128.

ADULT FORUM

Following the 8:00 Sunday service, a class is held for adults. The Adult Forum addresses a number of topics including personal spirituality, Scripture, ethics, church history, the liturgy of the church, and contemporary issues. Meetings may also scheduled during the mid-week based on a changing schedule and availability of leaders. Contact: John Carstens 364-7536.

EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY

EFM is a program of theological education-at-a-distance of the School of Theology of the University of the South. It covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy, and theology. Students meet regularly, usually once a week, in seminars under the guidance of trained mentors. The program grants a certificate at the completion of the four years and 18 Continuing Education Units for each year's work. Although this is a four year program, students need only commit to one year at a time. Contact: Julie Clark, 364-5380.

CONFIRMATION/RECEPTION/REAFFIRMATION
