New Students

New Students include Transfers and First-Years. First Year Ministries offer several things focused on students who are off to college for the first time.  It doesn't matter if you are classified as a freshman, sophomore, or junior.  Click on any of the buttons below for more information or to sign up for an event!

Take a look!

Foundry

This is a first-year only Community Group. It meets on Thursdays at 7 PM at Wesley. Join us as we talk about the Bible and your faith and college. It's a great way to delve into the new year with a great support group to talk about the your faith and the challenges of college life.

First-Year Planning Team

First-Year Planning Team (FPT) meets once a week for an hour on Wednesdays after our weekly worship service. FPT helps plan one event each semester and also spends time discussing the sermon you just heard. Delve deeper into the worship service and work on team building and leadership skills, too!

Student Council

When we say Wesley could run without Tom or Ben we are not joking. Wesley is largely run by students that sit on our council. Council elections are in the spring but we want new students to have the opportunity to become leaders in Wesley, so assistant chair positions are reserved for first-years and transfers each fall.

Worship and Church Fair

The Sunday before classes start, we will have an 11 am worship service at Wesley (129 E. College), followed by a free lunch and a church fair. Several local churches have representatives from their congregations to give you information about their church, how to participate and their worship days and times.  RSVP above!

Welcome Week &
Kayak Trip

The first week of classes is filled with great events and meeting new people!  Join our welcome week activities to get to know other first-years, active Wesley students, and our campus ministers Tom and Ben!  Use the button on this page to sign up for Kayaking!

Parents, Youth Leaders, and Pastors

If you are a parent, youth leader, or pastor who'd like to share information about one of your incoming students, please fill out the form on our Resource Page called "Churches and Parents." Thank you for helping us minister to your students!
