The Board of Managers composed of 32 clergy: the Bishops, a representative of each Bishop’s cabinet, a representative of each conference’s connectional ministries, and 13 at-large members of each conference. The board meets three times annually to plan and manage the school, working on the current year’s school as well as schools for the coming 2 to 3 years.  If you are interested in serving on the board, you are invited to contact Donald Mathis, Vice Chair of the Board, who is responsible for the nominations process.

The school is funded primarily by tuition fees paid each year.  Both conferences have also supported the school either by budget or endowment.

For registration questions, please email earnestine@epworthumc.com to contact Earnestine Campbell.

For questions regarding the School, please email matt.murphy@ngumc.net to contact Matt Murphy.
