Dr. Dana Lyles
Executive Director, Multiethnic Ministries

Dr. Dana Lyles serves as the Executive Director of Multiethnic Ministries for Global Ministries and Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM).

She is responsible for the strategic direction, program development and implementation, administrative oversight, and support of multiethnic and multi-cultural ministry programs within Global Ministries and GBHEM including the agencies’ commitment to worldwide inclusivity, diversity, equity and acceptance.

She also serves as a key point of contact with related ministries and organizations within The United Methodist Church and its organizations, with the racial/ethnic plans of The United Methodist Church, the Community Developers Program, and UM-related Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
A lifelong United Methodist and preacher’s kid, Dana is layperson from the Western North Carolina Annual Conference. She has served the church in a variety of capacities, including consulting and co-leading a predominately white church and African American church through a merger, serving as a co-chair for the Western North Carolina Annual Conference’s young adult leadership development program and serving on the denomination’s Connectional Table.

She is a three-time graduate of North Carolina A&T State University, where she received a bachelor’s degree in economics, a master’s degree in business education, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in leadership studies. She also received a master’s degree in school administration from Gardner-Webb University.

About The Primer

The United Methodist Church’s commitment to education is rooted historically in the vision and actions of the Methodist movement founder, John Wesley. Wesley encouraged intellectual development alongside spiritual growth. He worked to connect “knowledge and vital piety,” relate faith and reason and educate the whole person in body, mind and spirit.

The denomination’s interest in education has evolved from John Wesley’s concern for the well-being of all people. Accordingly, three concerns have motivated the United Methodist denomination to be involved in education throughout its history:

  •  That all people should have access to education;
  • That education should be of the highest quality in curriculum, financial integrity and governance as it is part of an individual’s offering of self to God; and
  • That the expression of religion should be guarded and encouraged on United Methodist-related campuses.

The Primer is the result of reflection and discussion around questions of identity and meaning for United Methodist-related schools, colleges and universities, particularly in North America. It reflects collaborative work with colleagues at GBHEM and Global Ministries including Dr. David Scott, executive director for theology and strategic planning, and Todd Willis, general counsel. That said, dialogue from around the world over many decades has contributed to the church-related conversation.

The Primer is a living document that provides a foundational text for the church and the academy to continue the important conversation about what it means to be a denomination with education in its DNA and the value of that relationship for UM-related schools, colleges and universities. Institutions should use all or parts of the Primer to interpret the church relationship to the campus community.
