Wesley Night is a gathering for community, learning, and serving others. We focus on the practical needs that students are facing. Whether a student is wrestling with questions of career and vocation, facing unique challenges, or just trying to figure life out, we believe that true community with others can help us focus on the important things, get unstuck, and discover new ways to move forward.
Cultivating purpose in life is about far more than a job or a career. It’s more than what we do. It’s also about who we are and the kind of person we are becoming. In a world of swiping and scrolling, quick fixes and instant gratification, we all need to carve the space to step back and focus on the essential, inside-out growth that cultivates the values that order our lives.
Wesley is a Christian community bringing students together to invest in one another's lives with open hearts and open minds.
Wesley is a campus ministry of The United Methodist Church, but our students represent a wide range of religious backgrounds and traditions. We believe that when we embrace and love others, we are loving God.
We understand it can be tough getting involved in a new organization. Just going to a new place where you might not know anyone can be a real challenge.
Wesley Night is the primary, weekly gathering of our community every Tuesday @ 7:30 during the school year. Our theme and focus this year at Wesley Night is cultivating purpose in life.
You can expect an inviting, laid back atmosphere. And cookies.
Seriously, we're not into pressuring people. We'd just like to be friends and cultivate the kind of environment that fosters lasting relationships. That truly is the main thing. The learning and growth that we want to help students experience comes in the context of meaningful relationships. And ice cream.
We have not been in a race to return to "normal" following the many disruptions from Covid-19, and we have not relaunched many of the activities that we would normally do. Instead, we are focusing on a few vital areas of student life, such as helping students cultivate purpose and move forward in life. This is far more than picking a major or planning for a career. These are spiritual decisions to make about the values that order our lives.
The safety and wellbeing of our students is our primary concern. We continue to follow the same health and safety protocols recommended by the CDC. To avoid any confusion among our students, we promote the same guidelines as the University.
Since we also have a dormitory, we have taken a cautious approach to "reopening" with only modest sized indoor gatherings. Please keep the safety of yourself and those around you in mind at all times.
