Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help.
ECCLESIASTES 4:9-10
American Methodism has devoted itself to the cause of education for over 200 years. More than 700 academic institutions in the United States bear the mark of the Methodist movement. Martin Methodist College is one of those institutions, and it has enjoyed a close relationship with the Tennessee Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church since the college was founded in 1870.
The Church Partner Plan
Is a program of the Cal Turner, Jr. Center for Church Leadership. The college established the Center for Church Leadership in 1999 in recognition of the ongoing ministry partnership that Martin Methodist College has with the United Methodist Church of the Tennessee Conference.
- Invites local congregations of the United Methodist Church to be covenant partners with Martin Methodist College in an historic and biblical way.
- Seeks to acknowledge and enhance this ministry partnership between Martin Methodist College and the churches of the Tennessee Conference.
- Is one of celebration and mutual enhancement of the sake of God’s people who are called to servant leadership in congregations, communities, and throughout society.
“We believe this Church Partner Plan is the wave of the future for connecting church-related colleges to their churches. Not only does it provide higher education opportunities for members of the congregation, but it provides educational services related to the development of church leadership. The Church Partner Plan provides for the future strength of both church and college.”
-Dr. Ted Brown,
President of Martin Methodist College
