The Wesley Foundation

What Wesley Foundation Did for Me…

“We have always wanted to be able to help out the Wesley Foundation financially especially since the decisions were made to decrease funding from the conference.  It occurred to us that making a large donation each year always seemed insurmountable but if we could make even a small donation each month it would really add up over time.  It’s kind of like tithing for us now – it’s just what we do each month as we sit down to pay our bills through bill pay – one goes to Wesley.  We are just thrilled to be able to help out – even if it’s just in a small way each month.  To all the leaders at Wesley we want to say:  keep doing all that you have for the students at WCU…the relationships we formed with friends and with Jesus Christ while involved at Wesley are beyond a price tag.” Carrie Wright – ‘99

“Starting with day one the Wesley foundation provided a positive place for me to personally explore my spirituality and really examine my beliefs in some of the foundations of christianity. I was not Methodist coming in and had somewhat slipped away before college from beliefs and faith. At Wesley foundation I found that I could be the cynic and openly skeptical and still not suffer social consequences for my questions. That had never happened much before. Further, the people and leaders there encouraged me to push on in my search. I will never forget that gift. My years at Wesley helped to grow up faith (the cynic was surprised) and even now I benefit from this. The Wesley Foundation gave me a needed alternative to grow with others and have fun doing it.” – Eric Hamlett,  WCU Student 2000 – 2002
