Wesley Biblical Seminary endeavors to engender a community of persons that is biblically and theologically imaginative, relationally redemptive, and missionally purposive. The Cumulative Formation Practices shape the rhythm of our community life together, and engender a faithful community of persons that understands its place within the biblical story, seeks to embody the kind of community life that bears witness to this story, and aligns with the missional trajectory of this story in relation to the culture and world.
