/About us

JSU Wesley is a campus ministry of the United Methodist Church serving the students at Jacksonville State University.

Wesley is a Christian community, but our students represent a wide range of religious backgrounds and traditions--including "none." We believe that when we embrace and love others, we are loving God.

To bring students on a journey together is what we long for, sharing the highs and lows of life, loving one another, laughing and learning together, leading forward to live lives of significance, not pretending to have all the answers but following a path of deep questioning, of a faith seeking understanding, where our life direction can be grounded in meaning, values, and purpose.

Life can be overwhelming and hard to navigate, but we aren’t meant to go through life alone. So, we strive to build the space where we share the journey and help one another along. We can only do that together, with one another, not for others.

The Christian spiritual life can only be truly experienced in shared community. Whether you're a current student, alumni, friend, or sponsor, you're invited to come together with us and share the journey as a community of friends and fellow pilgrims.

Amazing possibilities can emerge when people come together and become entangled in one another's journeys.

Though I wear different hats as the Wesley Director, I work primarily with students as a mentor and trail guide, helping them cultivate a more deeply connected life.

Our Guiding Statement

We'll walk together through the storms and through the sunshine, through times of ease and times of struggle. We'll journey together, not pretending that we have it all figured out, but having the courage to explore, to seek out a deeper connection and a higher purpose. We'll hold each other up, cherish each other's gifts, and be there for each other when fear and doubt creep in. We'll keep pushing forward, no matter what obstacles we encounter, for it is in this togetherness that we will find the strength to go and make a difference in the world.
