Welcome to Wesley!
A community of students for students.
Wesley is physically located near Winthrop University, but we welcome college students (undergrad and graduate) attending Winthrop, Clinton College, and York Tech.
We are intentionally open to all people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, political beliefs, national origin, mental and physical health, or age. In particular, we are open to those often discriminated against in churches:
People who are LGBTQ+
People with unorthodox beliefs
People from non-Christian faiths
Agnostics and atheists
Where’s Wesley?
The Wesley Center is located at 406 Stewart Ave, across the street from Winthrop’s Rutledge Building, about a 4 minute walk from DiGs. The center is open to students throughout the week to hang out, study (with far better WiFi than most places on campus!), pray, and/or meet with groups.
Want to reserve a room? Email director@winwes.org with your request, otherwise it’s first-come-first-served.
The Monday Meal
Every Monday at 6:30 p.m. all students are invited for a free home-cooked meal prepared by local church and community folks. Come early to hang out in the lounge; stay after if you like for Faith Forum.
Monday nights after the dinner we will gather to chat about faith things, from the complexities of scripture to the dangers of Christian Nationalism. These gatherings take the form of an open discussion, guided by Pastor Laurel.
Wednesday Movie Night
The movie of the week starts at 7:30 p.m. in our big-screen, surround-sound theater with comfy couches, free popcorn, and free soda. Suggest your favorite film to director@winwes.org!
Unfortunately, our movie license means we can’t announce the movie titles to the “general public.” Get the scoop by signing up for our weekly newsletter!
