Wesley Bible Institute - Ministry training and personal enrichment


"Preach the Word;
be prepared in season and out of season;
correct, rebuke and encourage--
with great patience and careful instruction". 
2 Timothy 4:2


OVERVIEW
The Eastern New York and New England District of the Wesleyan Church is developing a ministry training center which will be named the Wesley Bible Institute (WBI).  WBI will be  a registered ministerial training extension site of the department of Education and Ministry of the Wesleyan Church International. Initially, WBI will be offering only the courses that lead to district licensing or recognition as a lay minister.  Laypersons who are seeking personal enrichment or would like to be stronger layperson are also invited to take these courses.

COURSES 
The six basic courses that would be available on a rotating basis are listed below.  Other courses can be added as demand increases.
  • Old Testament Introduction
  • New Testament Introduction
  • Introduction to Theology
  • Wesleyan Church History/Discipline
  • Homiletics
  • Church Leadership/Management

REQUIREMENTS
In addition to registering with Wesley Bible Institute for each course, students who are interested in these courses counting toward lay ministry recognition, district licensing or ordination must register with the department of Education and Ministry of the Wesleyan Church International.  This application form can be found by clicking the "Ministerial Preparation" link at
Education and Ministry - Wesleyan Church International

COURSE EXPECTATIONS
Courses will consist of at least three different elements.  Credit students who are taking these courses for credit will be required to complete all of the course elements to receive credit.  Non-credit students who are taking a course for personal enrichment are not required to complete all the course elements.

Pre-work - for most courses the instructor will require some reading or writing to be completed before the class begins.  Credit students will be required to have access to the course textbook(s) to complete the pre-work and to reference during classtime.

Classtime - each course will include at least 20 hours of 'face time' where the student is interacting with instructors and students.  The instructor may make additional assignments to be completed during this time period.

Post-work - for most courses the  instructor will require some reading or writing to be completed after the class begins.  the instructor will give a due date for post-work and then will post grades shortly thereafter.

District Director - Rev. James Swanson - 518-695-3766
