Exploring Faith Matters Schedule
The timetable below gives an overview of the reading for each Year Group, using the schedule from 2022/3 as an example; the course usually follows a similar format every year. If you are new to EfM, you will start in “Year 1”, which focuses on the Old Testament.
The books listed are either books of the Bible, or text books as listed on the main EfM page here.
If you’re viewing on a mobile device or tablet then you may need to scroll sideways in order to view all columns of the table.
