Our mission
Equipping the called for real ministry
Western Ministry Institute exists to prepare disciples of Jesus Christ — grounded in 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.
