Asbury University is a private Christian university in Wilmore, Kentucky.[4] Although it is a non-denominational school, the college is aligned with the Wesleyan-Holiness movement[5] and is a member of the Wesleyan Holiness Connection.[6] The school offers 50-plus majors across 17 departments. In the fall of 2016, Asbury University had a total enrollment of 1,854: 1,640 traditional undergraduate students and 214 graduate students.[3] The campus of Asbury Theological Seminary, which became a separate institution in 1922, is located across the street from Asbury University.

In addition to these separate denominational groupings, one needs to give attention to the large pockets of the Holiness movement that have remained within the United Methodist Church. The most influential of these would be the circles dominated by Asbury College and Asbury Theological Seminary (both in Wilmore, KY), but one could speak of other colleges, innumerable local campmeetings, the vestiges of various local Holiness associations, independent Holiness oriented missionary societies and the like that have had great impact within United Methodism. A similar pattern would exist in England with the role of Cliff College within Methodism in that context.
