Pastoral Ministry Training Weaving the threads of theology and practice. Both Ordained & Commissioned Ministers are required to complete a pastoral ministry training programme prior to their ordination or commissioning. This training will include completion of biblical and theological study through an approved provider, and a personalised development and training programme through Wesley Centre for Ministry Training. This programme begins with a one-year programme as a recognised Ministry Student. Ministry students who are accepted for training toward ordained ministry are then required to complete a further two-year programme as a Licensed Minister. Further training requirements for Commissioned Ministers are determined by their particular ministry context.
