“The Wesley community has helped me grow my faith by giving me a place to be. I came into college with not very many friends that I knew here, and being able to go to the Wesley House was really nice to get that sense of community and build my faith while just sitting and working on homework… [When I came to college] following God was one of the first things that I was thinking of, and finding a program that I want to be a part of. And when I walked in Wesley, I immediately felt like I was at home. And it has really helped me continue growing my faith here. “

“It is where college students can come together and grow in community and serve a real and authentic God while also living in real, authentic community. And it’s just a place where we all can come together in community. We eat, we play board games, we worship, we do Wesley walks, we go to Buc-ee’s.
Anything you can think of that just grows college community in a very safe and welcoming and inclusive environment. That’s what Wesley is.”

“Without this organization and the amazing people that came with it I would not have made it through all 4 years of college . . . Seeing the way everyone loved each other no matter what truly reinforced my belief in Jesus. I couldn’t be more thankful for this foundation and the people it brought into my life.”

“I cannot put into words the impact Wesley has had on my life . . . Wesley quite literally gave me a home, and gave me some of the coolest people I know. I met the guy who officiated our wedding, the best musician and listener I know, a hard question-asker and always answer-seeking friend, the best hugger in the world, and so many more.
I got to be on staff with all of them everyday to show God to college students around Macon and in the process, God changed my life. Funny how that works.”

“When I got to Mercer, I wasn’t entirely sure where I would fit within the different Christian ministries. I knew that I didn’t want to be somewhere that felt very, like, rigid or traditional, and I just found Wesley to be a super accepting place for everyone from all walks of faith you know, all parts of their faith journey.”

“Wesley was home. Wesley was realness and a safe space and yummy food and comfy couches and silly jokes and learning to live out my faith. Wesley was only a few years, but those memories, friendships and lessons I’ll carry with me always!”

“To me, Wesley meant a place where I was able to know God and be known.
It was a place that taught me how to lead and follow, teach and be taught, serve and be served.
Wesley was the place I felt safe in times of hurt and a place where I could both celebrate my triumphs and move past my failures. Wesley was the place that I was most comfortable and allowed me to create lifelong friendships and memories that will always be treasured.”
