What makes us unique?

Our goal is to work together with local church pastors to prepare their leaders to work in practical ministry inside and outside the church walls.

WMI can be an asset for your church leadership by:

  • Supporting the ministries of the local church
  • Equipping believers for the work of practical ministry
  • Promoting spiritual insight in students
  • Confirming and enriching their unique Kingdom contribution

About WMI

The mission of Western Ministry Institute is to equip and empower men and women—through Bible-based and Spirit-led principles—to serve in the local church, establish new churches, serve cross-culturally or develop marketplace ministry. To accomplish this, Western Ministry Institute promotes servant-edifying courses that support biblical-theological education and practical ministry application.

Our goal is ministry effectiveness and certification as provided by proven pastors and leaders who teach at the university level. We offer comprehensive biblical education and training to those seeking to deepen their faith, expand their knowledge of Scripture and theology, and prepare for ministry or leadership roles in their church.
