Wesley FlexMA Graduate

Meet Janice Harmon

Journalist. NASA Congressional Affairs Specialist. Transformational Leadership Coach. Bi-Vocational Pastor.

Janice lives a bi-vocational call that looks to the stars and cares for God’s creation on Earth in a church setting. At NASA for 25 years as a Congressional Affairs Specialist – “I inform staff and members of U.S. Congress about the great science and technology NASA provides to the nation" - Janice also serves as a Minister of Care and Connection at Faith UMC in Rockville, MD. " Janice found Wesley's Flex MA program to be the perfect fit to aid her in answering “yes” to her bi-vocational call. "I love the flexibility and expansiveness of the MA program. Wesley's curriculum allows you to color outside of the traditional religious and academic lines to serve creatively!"

FlexMA Essentials

If you are combining two calls - to a professional plus ministerial life - or preparing for a new response to God's call - the FlexMA will make it possible.

wt-flex-ma-ministry

Formed for Ministry

The Wesley FlexMA fits students’ needs, whether they are preparing for ministry in congregational and institutional settings, going deeper in their own spiritual journey, or integrating faith and theology into an existing career.

Through the FlexMA, lawyers, doctors, administrators, IT professionals, and others are gaining the theological knowledge and leadership skills to teach religion in church settings, preach, coordinate ministries, and more, while they continue in their other professional work lives. Other Wesley FlexMA students are gaining theological formation to enrich their non-profit or advocacy work. Still others are giving God their "third career," creating new ministries following retirement.

What is your next call? See how the FlexMA can provide robust learning and formation that integrates your faith, life, and professional experience.

wt-flex-ma-affordable

Affordable

Wesley provides a wide range of merit-based scholarships and financial aid for the FlexMA degree, which is also eligible for federal loans. Student worker positions are also possible. Wesley wants to ensure that education costs do not stand in the way of a call to ministry.

wt-flex-ma-partners

A Partnership of Learning 

Your Way, Your Time, Supportive Faculty
