The Wesley Ministry Network

The Wesley Ministry Network strengthens the ministries of churches around the world by creating adult educational materials that make accessible the best of contemporary Christian scholarship.

Our DVD-based courses encourage the energetic discussion and personal reflection that are keys to a life of informed discipleship. Courses are designed for use in small groups, but they are also appropriate for individuals seeking self-study opportunities.

Wesley Ministry Network materials are used in churches in a wide range of denominations across the United States and in several other countries. Course materials are available online through the Lewis Center for Church Leadership. Teacher-led courses are also offered online, in partnership with the Institute for Discipleship and Be A Disciple.

Wesley Ministry Network aims to strengthen the whole church in the whole world. Please contact us if you have ideas about how we can better meet the need for adult Christian education in the 21st century.
