Pastoral Studies Program for the Global Methodist Church
The Pastoral Studies Program at Baylor’s Truett Seminary offers a deep study of Wesleyan heritage and a quality theological education by providing the necessary courses and skills for those called to vocational ministry as well as those seeking a deeper walk with Christ.
The Pastoral Study Program was created for the Global Methodist Church and exists to equip, train, and form those called to ministerial leadership. Through courses taught by experts in their respective fields of theological study as well as relevant practical experiences and exercises offered through Baylor’s Truett Seminary, students will have the opportunity to be academically challenged and spiritually enriched. While the program will require significant effort and dedication, this alternative learning program was designed to make education more affordable and accessible for students with significant commitments in addition to school.
As an Approved Educational Institution for the Global Methodist Church, classes at Truett Seminary fulfill the requirements of those seeking ordination through the Alternative Educational Pathway.
