Higher Education

A passion for excellence in higher education and in ministry has always been a part of our Wesleyan heritage. Since its earliest days, our church has attempted to provide training and support for those who are called into professional ministry and to provide access to higher education to all who desire it. Concern for those areas of our common life led the East Ohio Conference to establish the Board of Higher Education & Campus Ministry.
