WNY District of The Wesleyan Church

Did you know that our District Ministry Training Program isn’t just for people preparing for full-time vocational ministry?

It’s also for you—the layperson who wants to grow in your knowledge of Scripture, strengthen your faith, and become better equipped to serve Christ and His Church.

You don’t have to be preparing for ordination or a career in ministry to take advantage of these courses. Whether you teach a class, lead a small group, serve on a ministry team or board, or simply want to deepen your understanding of the Christian faith, there’s something here for you.

Our next courses begin soon, and there are some great options!

📖 Methods of Bible Study
📖 Genesis
📖 Doctrine of Holiness (Wesleyan Theology)
📖 Church Leadership
📖 Introduction to Preaching
📖 Introduction to Theology
📖 Worship
📖 Christian Education
📖 Psychology

All courses are offered online through Zoom, making it easy to participate wherever you are in the district.

The Church needs well-equipped laypeople, too! Why not take a course this year and invest in your own spiritual growth and your ability to serve Christ and His Church?

We were privileged to have Dr. Jim and Wendy Dunn at our district conference this past Saturday. On Sunday Jim delivered a powerful message at Revive Wesleyan. Get to know Jim's heart and a little of his testimony in this powerful message.

Now is not the time to hide from God's truth, work a the truth and work. STOP HIDING!
