EfM is a four-year Christian Formation program (taken one year at a time) founded and administered through the School of Theology of the University of the South at Sewanee. Through study, prayer, worship, and reflection, EfM seminar groups journey together through scripture, church history, and theology.

A seminar group can be comprised of one or two mentors and up to twelve participants. The group meets up to 36 times during the course of a year. Years 1 & 2 study the Hebrew Scriptures, the Gospels, and the New Testament. Year 3 looks at Church History. Year 4 studies Christian ethics and systematic theology, developing and enhancing their own practice. Wide-Angle is a 1-year "taste" of the traditional four years of the program.

During a weekly seminar, the group builds an intentional faith-seeking small group by doing these things:

• Check-in - how has the group encountered and responded to God since the last seminar

• Worship - participants lead worship and pray together

• Reflect theologically (TR) - after agreeing upon a shared focus, the group examines tradition and culture, paired with experiences and beliefs, concluding with implications for action

• Study coursework - participants discuss insights, challenges, and “aha” moments of the assigned readings

• Hospitality - the group spends time in fellowship.
