Higher Education & Campus Ministry Because we care about people, United Methodists are committed to ministry in higher education. Our heritage is rooted in a tradition that began more than 250 years ago when John Wesley established the Holy Club and the Methodist Society at King's College, Oxford University. In 1784, he also founded Kingswood School which continues to serve today. Wesley was committed to "education for the common good." He believed education was important for the faith and critical for service in the world. Wesley's dedication to education started a movement that established not only churches but also schools. Today, there are 123 United Methodist-related institutions in the United States and more than 775 worldwide. This Guideline is a how-to plan that leads you through the biblical, theological, and practical aspects of your church's ministry in higher education. The twenty-six Guidelines cover church leadership areas including Church Council and Small Membership Church ; the administrative areas of Finance and Trustees ; and ministry areas focused on nurture, outreach, and witness including Worship, Evangelism, Stewardship, and Christian Education , age-level ministries, Communications , and more.
