"Since our founding, Baker has held close ties with the Methodist Episcopal Church—which became the Methodist Church in 1939 and then the United Methodist Church in 1968—and has retained this affiliation. As one of 196 colleges and universities in the United States with connections to the Church, we seek to continue a tradition of devotion to the Christian faith and academic excellence." https://www.bakeru.edu/meet-baker-university/
