Course of Study Weekend Program in New England

  Wesley Theological Seminary is the Regional School for the North East Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church.  The New England Annual Conference is large with many local pastors in rural areas in the upper reaches of Maine and New Hampshire who are not able to make the trip to Washington, D.C. in July. The New England Satellite School for the Course of Study was created to bring the required Course of Study program of the United Methodist Church closer to those who need it. We are dedicated to ensuring that  local pastors in this area are able to fulfill their educational requirements according to the Book of Discipline (2012).

For more information please contact Sara Sheppard (202) 855-8688.

Program Information Expand

The New England Satellite School holds course twice a year.  Fall courses take place in or near Bangor, Maine; Spring courses take place in New Hampshire. The program is designed for the courses to move around the New England Annual Conference so that all local pastors within the conference are able to attend courses close to home. Students from outside conferences are also invited to register.

Fees

Registration Fee: $75 non-refundable due for each course with registration application.

Tuition: $350 per course; payable the first day of class or earlier.
