What Wesley Foundation Did for Me…

“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

“The Wesley Foundation has had a major impact on my life.  First, it was the first place where I felt loved and accepted for who I am.  Second, the friends that I made there have remained some of my best friends despite the changes in our own lives.  They continue to support me and love, and I thank God for them.  Finally, my time in the Wesley Foundation helped me to discover my gifts and passions in ministry.” – Burnetta “Etta” Barton, WCU Student 1997-2001.
