Wesley Campus Ministry invites you to Explore, Engage, and Embody an active faith in God.
“The moment we choose to love, we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others. That action is the testimony of love as the practice of freedom.”—bell hooks.

WILLIAMSBURG UMC YOUNG ADULT GROUP: On Sundays during Sunday school hours in-between services (9:30am-10:30am) at Williamsburg UMC. Led by Ryan and WUMC’s Rev. Meghan Roth Clayton. They’ll be discussing the book Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People. Books will be on hand, but no need to read beforehand!
FAITH and FELLOWSHIP: These include game nights, films, interfaith and cross-campus events, and coffee hours. Check the weekly “Wesley Wire” email for the schedule, and our Instagram for immediately upcoming events!
WORSHIP: Thursday nights at 7, join us for a 30-45 minute service! We gather in the fellowship hall to sing, take communion (the table is open to everyone), and hear a short message from Ryan! We hope this short mid-week service can provide some spiritual formation for students!

COMMUNITY OUTREACH and SERVICE consists of partnerships with other groups on campus and the wider Williamsburg community to live out our faith in transformative ways that still move us and our community toward truly living out God’s Beloved Community for all.
DOG TOY CRAFT BINS: We have an on-going bin to make dog toys for Heritage Humane Society. Stop by the house any time, any day from 9 to 9 to do some crafts for a good cause!
FALL BREAK TRIP: Each year, we use our Fall Break to take a trip outside of Williamsburg to provide service for and learn about amazing nonprofits and activist efforts throughout Virginia and the USA. Stay tuned for what we get up to next year!
SPRING BREAK STAYCATION: The last couple years, we have hosted a staycation at the Wesley House for students who weren’t able go home during that time. Since the dining halls shut down over break, we host three free meals every day, last year feeding 220 meals to 60 students. Besides food, we plan a full itinerary with opportunities to engage in fun and community, as well as service opportunities. We had a lot of fun and were able to help our community in the process! We’re bringing it back this year, so stay tuned for that!
