The Wesley Foundation
An inclusive ministry of the United Methodist Church
Who Are We?
That's the question, isn't it? Who are we, and who are we called to be - for each other, for ourselves, and for this world with so much beauty and so much need?
At the Wesley Foundation, we seek responses to these questions together, knowing that our answers are always partial and ever-changing. We are eager to journey together in discovering and rediscovering who we are and who we are called to be.
What doesn't change is that we believe we are called by Christ to be
Radically inclusive
Unconditionally self-giving and loving
Always challenging one another and this world to meet Christ's radical, self-giving, inclusive love by returning it and forming relationships built on mutuality.
What this means is that
We will always seek Christ
We will always seek what is most loving and grace-full
We will always believe in the image of God in each individual
We will always strive to be a home for all students who want to seek the Divine (whatever that means to them and wherever that takes them)
We will always seek justice, peace, and love - even when its risky
We will never give up hope
Never stop questioning
Never stop challenging each other to fall further into love with and knowledge of Christ and the Divine in every space It's found.

Creation Stations
Check out our daily collaborative/interactive projects outside the Wesley Foundation. You can just walk up and help create a piece of art or share a bit about yourself - and just like that, you've become part of building something really cool at the Wesley this year! We'll have prayer stations, photo booths, collaborative art projects, and more - and they all can be done by yourself or with friends in 5 minutes or less...although we hope you'll linger a bit so we can become part of your ever-growing friend group! FREE EVENT.
