The South West Ministry Training Course is an ecumenical training organisation, whose courses lead to a University of Exeter award.
Its function is to train men and women for the ordained ministry in the Church of England in the Dioceses of Exeter, Truro and Bath and Wells, and for the Methodist Church and also for the office of Reader in the Church of England in the Diocese of Exeter.
SWMTC also sponsors research and delivers post-licensing training for its sponsoring churches. |

| SWMTC aims to form women and men for an ever-deepening participation in the mission of the triune God in the world and prepare them to: |
|
|
|
 |
|
Lead Christian communities in their discernment of that mission; |
|
|
|
|
|
Strengthen those communities through the leading and enabling of worship which is both relevant and creative; |
|
|
|
|
|
Empower those communities through the care and encouragement of individuals and through teaching from the resources of Scriptures, tradition, reason and experience; |
|
|
|
|
|
Discern and enable the ministries of others; |
|
|
|
|
|
Provide an example of lives characterised by prayer, service and self-awareness after the example of Christ. |
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, SWMTC aims to foster theological exploration throughout the region it serves, through teaching, research, and community-based initiatives. |
