The United Methodist Church has over 100 institutions of education in the United States. We are second only to the Catholic Church in the number of institutions of higher education. We work with presidents, campus pastors, and campus leaders in bringing knowledge and vital piety, truth and love together. We work with ministers and presidents on resources for connectionalism with local churches and annual conferences, leadership development, interfaith work, discernment, and other useful tools for a vibrant campus spiritual life.

United Methodist Campus Ministries, Wesley Foundations, and Ecumenical Ministries
Annual Conferences in the United States have over 400 campus ministries at state schools, community colleges, and 2-year institutions. We support these ministries with resources related to outreach, board development, strategic planning, and coaching. For more information and inquiries, please reach out to umcollegiate@gbhem.org.
We further our resources by partnering with the United Methodist Campus Ministry Association, a network of United Methodist campus ministers with extensive knowledge and expertise in all things related to campus ministry.
Conference Boards of Higher Education
We partner with Annual Conferences and their Boards of Higher Education by sharing resources that will help the campus ministries within their area. Our collaboration includes board development, relationship building between the annual conference and their United Methodist- Related Institutions, trends in higher education, and other tools that enhance the work of the BHE’s with their campus ministries. For more information, please reach out to us, umcollegiate@gbhem.org.
RESOURCES!
Anyone in collegiate ministries knows how hard it is to come across good resources for campus ministry. We want to create a resource page inspired by your needs and fulfilled by your creativity. We need YOUR help. Following this link, you will help us think of resources for your needs. You will also be able to provide resources you have created with the campus community in mind.
What resources do you need?
Are there specific resources you need to address the needs of your community? Maybe you need resources for board development, campus culture, mental health, liturgies, or other events. Let us know here.
What resources can you share?
Some of us have developed resources in our ministry. These could be specific worship experiences (i.e., Olivia Rodrigo-themed chapel), Bible studies, Pilgrimages/service trips, student conferences, etc. Some of these you could share for free or for a fee. These resources will be later posted on an upcoming resource page. Please, upload the resource or send us an email, umcollegiate@gbhem.org. NOTE: All resources will be edited/vetted before posting.
