United Methodist Campus Ministries, Wesley Foundations, and Ecumenical Ministries
Annual Conferences in the United States have more than 400 campus ministries at state schools, community colleges and two-year institutions. We support these ministries with resources related to outreach, board development, strategic planning and coaching. For more information and inquiries, contact 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 to help campus ministries within their area. Our collaboration includes board development, relationship building between the annual conference and their United Methodist-related Institutions, higher education trends and other tools that enhance the work of the BHE’s with their campus ministries. For more information, contact umcollegiate@gbhem.org.
RESOURCES
Anyone in collegiate ministries knows how hard it is to come across good resources. 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 at umcollegiate@gbhem.org. NOTE: All resources will be edited/vetted before posting.
