A Note on Ordination Requirements
The 2004 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church (Par.315) requires that all candidates for ordained ministry shall have completed the basic graduate theological studies requirements, including the areas of United Methodist history, United Methodist doctrine, United Methodist polity, and evangelism. These courses may be completed independently or as part of a degree program. However, election to probationary membership and commissioning cannot be granted until these requirements are successfully completed.
Courses in history, doctrine, and polity for other denominations are offered as needed depending on enrollments.
