Wesleyan Bible Colleges

If you are a Methodist, Holiness, or Wesleyan Christian, then you might be considering Wesleyan Bible Colleges for your ministerial education. Wesleyan Bible Colleges are those who cater to the denominations that have sprung from the Christian teachings as handed down by their founder John Wesley. 




John Wesley was a pastor in the Church of England who brought his reform movement to the United States in 1735. Influenced by the Moravian Christians on his voyage to America and embracing teachings concerning personal holiness and sanctification that he believed had been forgotten by the Anglicans of his day, he began a movement that later grew into the Methodist, holiness, and Wesleyan movements. 

Welseyan Bible Colleges typically emphasize personal piety as well as the process of moving toward spiritual refinement and christian perfection that they call the lifelong process of sanctification. 

Wesleyan-based churches and other denominations in the Wesleyan family need skilled pastors and spiritual leaders to do ministry.
