The
Wesleyan Methodist
Church also known as
the Independent
Methodist Church's Bible
Institutes
Each of the World Conference of the
Wesleyan Methodist Church also
known as the Independent
Methodist Churches run
their own Bible Institute program
under the banner called The Independent
Methodist Bible Institutes.
As a denomination, the World
Conference of the Wesleyan or Independent
Methodist Church believes that
theological training for any of the
five fold ministry leadership
callings should start in the local
church. This is why they encourage
all of their local churches to start
our Bible Institute program as a
major part of the local church
activity. This means that any
potential leadership is upheld in
prayer by, initially trained by and
eventually sent and supported from
their local congregation or
assembly. As a sister organization,
the Jacobus Arminius Centre then
coordinates the advancement of
potential Pastors and Ministers by
aiding their progress in religious
educational studies in preparation
for their vocational position.
The Jacobus Arminius Courses
of Theological Study
The Jacobus Arminius
Courses are Church based Seminar
setting in depth study courses
dealing with Arminian Theology,
Wesleyan Theology and classical
roots Pentecostal Theology.
The Jacobus Arminius
Courses are primarily a part of
the World Conference of the
Wesleyan Methodist Church also
known as the Independent
Methodist Churches Bible Institute
program. The Courses aim
to help with the progression of
theological study. It was set up in
2009 as part of the four hundredth
memorial anniversary of the death of Jacobus Arminius in 1609 by the
Board of the Wesleyan Methodist
Church also known as the
Independent Methodist Church's Bible Institutes, to offer
opportunities for potential future
church ministers and leaders to
continue their theological studies
alongside their daily lives, local
church commitments and their local
churches Bible Institute's courses,
by arranging study days and
conferences where Seminary lectures
could come to local churches or a
group of local churches and conduct
seminars and training at Seminary
level in order that assessment could
be made of individual's religious
educational capacities with a view
to those who could be 'cherry
picked' from these conferences and
study days as possible applicants to
become Seminarians and maybe
eventually candidates for the
licensed and ordained ministry of
the Church.
