Theological study equips leaders to teach the Gospel faithfully, while spiritual formation helps them live what they teach.
Empowering Theological Leadership in Africa, Europe, and the Philippines
The United Methodist Church is living through one of the most transformative seasons in its history. In Africa, Europe, and the Philippines there is a profound, urgent need for well-prepared pastors and church leaders. Africa and the Philippines experience incredible growth while European Methodists are advancing new expressions of being church in a highly secularized society.
To meet this historic moment, we are building a permanent foundation for theological leadership through two complementary endowments:
Theological Education: Secures lasting support for theological institutions and pastoral training in the Africa, Europe, and the Philippines.
The Professor in Methodism Endowment: Sustainable salary support for faculty dedicated to Wesleyan theology, Methodist history, doctrine, and polity.
Together, these initiatives ensure theological education remains rooted in our rich Wesleyan heritage while equipping leaders to serve the worldwide Church for generations to come.
