Our Mission and Values

To paraphase John Wesley, he believed in doing all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to help all the people you can for as long as you can. The Wesley Foundation is built on this principle. We are a community of university students united in service who go where help is needed. The world today is challenging enough that people often need a helping hand. 

We are:

- An open, reconciling, and affirming ministry

- A place to hang out, study, grab a snack, ask questions, and talk openly

- A way to serve out our mission to help others with love and respect

- A group of friends based on mutual grace and acceptance that will last a lifetime

The Wesley Foundation is a ministry of the UMC, but we invite students of ALL backgrounds to join us in service, worship, fellowship, and missions as we grow together. We have a rich history of spiritual formation, community outreach, social & environmental justice activism, and of being a place of welcome and love. We believe in embracing others in all their diversity, and helping where help is needed.

We are inclusive

All are welcome regardless of community, race, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, ethnic community, or physical or mental challenge. We see our community as a safe space where we are free to be whom and whose we are, brothers and sisters working together for the good of all. We commit ourselves to inclusion of and hospitality to all persons.

Our Creed

We are the Wesley Foundation.

As a community of university students, together we believe that:

The Creator of all things who, through love gives us the privilege of prayer.

The Spirit surrounds and fills everyone and everything to provide comfort and guidance.

We are friends.

We are neighbors.

We are family.

We are Wesley.
