Become a John Wesley Partner |

|
John Wesley and the Methodists set out "to reform the nation, particularly the Church, and to spread scriptural holiness over the land." It was a type of "practical divinity" - to live out the love of God and neighbor. Wesley raised up leaders to equip these Methodists to live grace filled lives. Such leaders and such a people are still bearing witness to this life of love. Wesley connected partners to encourage, support, and train people for Christian living and for leadership in the church. By joining this circle of supporters, you are assisting in the training of leadership for the churches of the 21st century. Eastern Mennonite Seminary is able to commit substantial amounts of financial aid to students in need, while they relocate their families and devote themselves to serious preparations for ministry. We are eager to maintain our partnership with you and with these students as they prepare to lead the church. Your acceptance of this invitation to become a John Wesley Partner is a pledge to make a financial commitment of $1,000 or more annually to the work at Eastern Mennonite Seminary in training United Methodist students. (A minimum of $500.) This is not a legal obligation, but a commitment that you will honor as you are able. Your encouragement in prayer is needed on a regular basis, as professors and students engage in worship, study and reflection on the tasks of ministry. We will keep you informed of specific Seminary needs, and seek to provide assistance to your churches as you partner with us and these seminarians in their leadership preparation. Questions? Call
