The Francis Asbury Institute

Too long has the work of theology been removed from the context of the local Christian community into the detached world of academia. Healthy, orthodox, informed, and relevant theological dialogue is vital not just for those whose interests somehow get piqued, but for the countless men and women committed to the cause of Christ around the world in every culture. To this end, the Francis Asbury Institute is proud to present the Dennis F. Kinlaw Symposium for Theological Dialogue, aimed at offering theological discussion leading to growth in the knowledge of God and personal holiness.

The Fellows program seeks young, bright minds in graduate programs to carry on the academic work of the Society. However, it is not strictly academic as Fellows also teach and preach in partnership with the Society. The FAS Ministry Center offers office space for Fellows to conduct their research, one of the many purposes that makes the Ministry Center a sacred place.

The Francis Asbury Society is host to an annual Holiness Preaching Conference designed to inspire, support, equip and network Wesleyan-Holiness preachers. John Wesley referred to entire sanctification as the “grand depositum” of the Methodist revival. These conferences provide opportunities to consider patterns of personal spiritual growth and sermon preparation, support networks of like-minded preachers, and offer new expressions of scriptural holiness.
