Welcome to the Wesley Foundation at NMSU!
Here at Wesley, we practice 'Open Doors, Open Hearts, and Open minds'. We are the Methodist campus ministry for New Mexico State University and Doña Ana Community College, offering many uplifting activities and services to our students throughout the week. We strive to be an encouraging and safe place for students to grow in their faith, create longtime friendships, and serve God to the best of their ability. And, we have free coffee every day of the week!
About Wesley at NMSU
What We Do!
The Wesley Foundation is lovingly supported by our NM Annual Conference, NMSU alumni, and many faithful church members! We're here to offer a safe, open place for college students to feel accepted and cared for in this next step into adulthood.
​
We seek to promote a Christ-centered, ministry of love, acceptance, and support in which students can grow spiritually through worship, study, discipleship, service, and fellowship.
Wesley also seeks to make connections and develop relationships with campus faculty and staff, alumni, the local churches,
and the greater community.
​
We provide a supportive space where students can feel comfortable engaging in open discussions about faith, vocation, social justice, and other topics. Wesley helps students integrate their faith with their academic lives and personal values.
We encourage students to participate and engage in faith based activities, fully immerse themselves in religious outreach services geared toward college age people, and be motivated and confident to take charge of their own beliefs and abilities.
​
Here at Wesley, there are many awesome things happening throughout the year including birthday and holiday celebrations, worship services and studies, karaoke and game nights, and summer mission trips! We even have an amazing prayer and study room for student academic and meditative purposes.
We attend student leadership conferences, host Youth Sundays, host Sunday services at our local churches, and commemorate our graduates with their own celebrations.
We also host an annual middle school camp in the Sacramento Mountains called R.O.C. (Rhythm of Christ).
At R.O.C. we engage mid-high youth in amazing worship, listen to awesome speakers, play lots of games, and most of all grow our middle schoolers in their faith!
​
There are so many great reasons to attend Wesley! To be involved, you don't need anything other than love for our students. Feel free to make an appointment to come check us out, meet the students and our director, and see what we're all about.
