The Wesley Campaign seeks to enlist and prepare exceptional pastors as a means of revitalizing the Church now and for generations to come. Wesley already has an exceptionally strong faculty and degree programs. Our mission requires reexamining how and what we teach. It also means investing in new activities to reconnect with the Church at all levels as our partner in preparing ministers. To bring about such ambitious changes, we need significant financial resources for scholarships, leadership development, technology, and permanent endowment.
Affordable education is crucial.
Too many potential ministers give up on their calling because of the expense of seminary. Many are discouraged from ever starting. Others enroll, but never finish. It is essential that men and women of high quality are not deterred from preparing for ministry or fulfilling their call for financial reasons. Named gift opportunities include endowed scholarships, scholarships for international students and other special designations.
