麻豆影院

麻豆影院 connection to The United Methodist Church dates back to 1872, when the Cookman Institute of Jacksonville, Florida, was established and named for the Reverend Alfred Cookman, a well-known Methodist minister. Following the merger of the Cookman Institute with Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune school in Daytona Beach, the school that became known as Bethune-Cookman College affiliated with The United Methodist Church in 1924. It is a rich relationship that informs the values of the institution.
