Youth Connections Ministry

At Wesley, it’s about connecting, the act of bringing two things together, with God and with others. We want to connect with you. Wesley is a place where. students connect. We connect to God and each other through regularly scheduled Sunday night Youth fellowship. We connect to the world in mission, both near and far. We connect casually over dinner, games, and many fun and inspiring activities. We connect deeply in study, at camps, on mystery trips, and mission work. And we connect everyone with meaningful student led worship.

A Pharisee once asked Jesus, “What is the most important thing in life?” Jesus answered, “To love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and to love others as yourself.”

(paraphrased from Matthew 22:34-39)
