Wesleyan Fellowship
at Christ Church Memphis

What is the Wesleyan Fellowship?

The Wesleyan Fellowship is a two-year residency experience built around a theology-in-practice model that provides seminary students with an opportunity to serve in the local church. 

What is the structure of the Wesleyan Fellows Program?

Fellows will both learn and serve during their time in Memphis. They will serve in full time ministry, with their time split between serving on staff at Christ Church Memphis, and studying at the Memphis Extension Campus of Asbury Seminary, located on the Christ Church campus.

LEARN: The Fellow will complete a Master of Biblical and Theological Foundations Degree, or apply these courses towards further degrees at the school.

SERVE: In addition to in-depth discipleship training, the Fellow will serve in a department at the church that furthers their vocational aim in ministry. These departments include adult discipleship, family ministry, missions, pastoral care, and worship.

If selected, what does a Wesleyan Fellow receive?

  • Full-tuition scholarship at Asbury-Memphis

  • $1,500 stipend a month

Students will be eligible for financial aid to take additional online courses at Asbury Seminary Online or assist with living expenses. Students can supplement income by raising additional support or working part-time.

How many students will be accepted?

The Wesleyan Fellowship at Christ Church Memphis selects two students per year for their cohorts.
