Is God calling you?
Are you passionate about serving the church? Is God prompting you to respond to the call of a lifetime?
Applications for Pastoral Ministry Training Pathways in 2022 are now OPEN.
Both Ordained & Commissioned Ministers are required to complete a pastoral ministry training programme prior to their ordination or commissioning. This training includes completion of biblical and theological study through an approved provider, and a personalised development and training programme through Wesley Ministry Institute.
The programme begins with a one year programme as a recognised Ministry Student. Ministry students who are accepted for training toward ordained ministry are then required to complete a further two year programme as a Licensed Minister. Further training requirements for Commissioned Ministers are determined by their particular ministry context.
