The United Methodist Church
The United Methodist Church...
The United Methodist Church has a long history of commitment to ministry in higher education. In the words of John Wesley (one or our spiritual forebears), we seek "to unite the two so long divided - knowledge and vital piety." Today, its 8.5 million members support more than 400 Wesley Foundations on campuses of state universities and colleges, along with hundreds of ecumenical ministries jointly sponsored by United Methodists and other Christian denominations. In addition, more than 100 colleges and universities in the United States claim affiliation with the denomination. On campuses and local congregations we have one goal: to make disciples of Jesus Christ by proclaiming the good news of God's grace and thus seeking the fulfillment of God's reign and realm in the world. The fulfillment of God's reign and realm in the world is the vision Scripture holds before us. Want to know more?
