He attended Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, New Jersey, earning the B.D. degree in 1890. He did postgraduate work at Oxford University in 1903.

Ordained and academic ministry

Welch entered the New York Annual Conference of the M.E. Church and was appointed to Bedford Station in 1890. In 1892 he was appointed pastor of St. Luke's M.E. Church in New York City. He then transferred to the New York East Annual Conference, where he was appointed successively to: Summerfield in Brooklyn, 1893–98; Middletown, Connecticut, 1898–1903; and the Chester Hill M.E.

In 1905 Welch transferred his conference membership again, this time to the West Ohio Annual Conference, when he was named the president of Ohio Wesleyan University. He served as president until becoming bishop in 1916.

During 1907–1908, Welch was president of the Association of Ohio College Presidents and Deans. He was also the president of the Methodist Social Service from 1909 to 1912, and later served as chairman of the Methodist Commission for Overseas Relief, 1940–1948.
