Our current practice is to offer two Lay Preacher Intensive Units each year. In 2010 we are offering the Old and New Testament Units. Talking Faith (Theology) and Proclaiming Jesus Christ (Christology).will be offered in 2011.
Old Testament Foundations will be offered in the first half of 2010. It will be offered as 2 weekends in each of the following regions:
- Sydney (Georges River/Sydney North/Parramatta)
- Macquarie-Darling (Orange)
- Riverina
- New England North West / Far North
ELM courses may be run on demand when requested by Presbyteries, Congregations or other groups. If you are interested in organising/hosting this course, please contact us using the contact form or email elm@nsw.uca.org.au.
