AFTE is the result of a vision for providing a core of evangelical and academically outstanding women and men to teach in UM and other seminaries. John Wesley Fellows are now teaching in a number of graduate theological schools—including Duke, Wesley, Methodist Theological School in Ohio, Brite, Dubuque, Ashland, and Asbury. 

Seventy-four Fellows have received their Ph.D. degrees. Presently, forty-four John Wesley Fellows are teaching at theological seminaries, including Duke, Wesley, Asbury, Dubuque, Princeton, Garrett, and Perkins. Fellows also teach at nineteen colleges and universities here and abroad. Their fields of study include biblical studies, systematic theology, church history, and ethics. 

Over 100 men and women have participated in the Fellowship program . If you are interested in receiving more information click here or send a message to afte@twumc.org ; or write to AFTE.
