Keeping The UMC United
The General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM) seeks to bring people together to discern, learn, and lead for the church and the academy. As a worldwide agency, we work with key partners, churches, and institutions to offer connectional and collaborative programs to support higher education and ministry around the world.
Chaplains, pastoral counselors and other providers of spiritual care are needed in a wide range of settings, and United Methodist clergy can be found serving everywhere from military outposts to hospitals, prisons, counseling centers and truck stops.
