2014 Graduation service , June 4th at 7:30pm @ St. Timothy, BurnabyThe key focus of EfM is to provide a means by which we, as Baptized Christians reflect theologically on life. The purpose of EfM is to provide study and tools for reflection.
“Thinking theologically is what it is all about - transformative in so many ways... EfM gave me the tools to have more peace when approaching difficult things …” an EfM Graduate
