Introducing the New GBHEM.ORG: A Website for the Modern Church
The General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM) serves a modern global audience, helping Methodists around the world discover, claim and flourish in God’s call on their lives. Our website, gbhem.org, is a crucial point of communication between our agency and the many clergy, students and educators we assist.
In July, GBHEM launched a redesigned and reimagined gbhem.org to ensure that all our constituents receive best-in-class service from our website. The new gbhem.org was created with the user in mind and with a layout to meet the needs of our diverse audience.
Explore the website today and take in new features such as:
- A precise search tool that allows you to narrow your inquiry based on who you are (student, clergy, faculty, etc.) and what category of information you’d like to see.
- Faster loading times and a structure that is optimized for mobile browsing.
- A Google translate plugin that makes the site accessible in nine languages including Korean, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian.
- A simplified organizational structure that groups information based on GBHEM’s four primary audiences: Students, Education Leaders, Clergy Leaders and Global Leaders.
- A dedicated Loans & Scholarships page with the latest information on financial aid opportunities for both students in and outside the U.S., as well as information on available grants for Methodist educational programs.
- A detailed, searchable Events page with a preview of upcoming events on the GBHEM homepage.
We invite you to remain in close contact with us as you navigate the new gbhem.org. Feel free to reach out to individual GBHEM departments through our Connect page or send general questions and comments to communications@gbhem.org.
GBHEM is thrilled to share this new tool to assist you on your journey into God’s calling.

I had one of the most beautiful experiences at an Albergue. On El Camino de Santiago there are many opportunities to stop. Albergues are inns, places where people can stop for the night and rest. Some albergues offer different amenities during the day. Some serve as cafes, places where you can have a bite to eat, use the restroom, and refill your water bottle. Most of them would charge a euro to use the restroom. Some would not allow you to use the facilities unless you were a customer.
Facing ongoing global instability, the boards of Higher Education and Ministry and Global Ministries invest in strengthening mission and ministry, prepare for organizational change, and affirm a vision of hope.
Methodism has a long history with the concept of perfection. In 18th-century England, perfection or perfectionism was understood the same way it is today. Perfection meant something without error or blemish. John and Charles Wesley, and the early leaders of the Methodist movement, understood perfection differently. In their practice, perfection was related to the Greek term teleio, which conveys maturity, wholeness, and completion.
