One frequently asked question is: How is the LifeCycles curriculum of study similar to and different from EFM? Both are excellent programs; They can be used to complement one another, as you can see in this comparison.

STUDY............................
Through study, prayer and reflection, EFM groups move toward a new understanding of the fullness of God's kingdom. With the help of resource guides, participants are given weekly assignments for study. Each person sets his own learning goals. There is ample opportunity to share insights and discoveries at weekly seminars.

REFLECTION....................................
Participants learn to think theologically, by developing skills in theological reflection. We learn what it means to be effective "ministers" in the world by examining our own beliefs and their relationship to our CULTURE, and the TRADITION of the Christian faith. We discover how our ministry is at hand wherever we turn.

WORSHIP.........................................
The weekly seminar is supported by a life of prayer and regular worship. We develop worship patterns together. Liturgical materials are furnished with the course material.
