Open Hearts. Open Minds. Open Doors

The Wesley Foundation at Georgia Tech is a ministry of the United Methodist Church to the Georgia Tech community.
By offering ministries of witness, nurture, outreach, fellowship, and stewardship, we seek to provide a well-balanced approach
to faith development. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of Georgia Tech are welcome to participate
​in all of our programs, regardless of religious affiliation, or lack thereof.

Witness

"I will sing of your steadfast love forever, O Lord, and I will proclaim your faithfulness
​to all generations." 
-- Psalm 89:1

The term "Witness" has a double meaning: when we worship, we witness the power of the living God; and when we evangelize, we make known our experience of God in the way that a witness testifies in a courtroom. Therefore, the witness ministries of the Wesley Foundation encompass both our services of worship, and our evangelism efforts.

Nurture

"Their delight is in
the law of the Lord,
and on God's law they meditate day and night." 
-- Psalm 1:2

The "Nurture" ministries of the Wesley Foundation invite and encourage the members of the Georgia Tech community to approach their spiritual life with the same passion and intellectual integrity as they approach their academic work. Many of our seminars are similar in scope and content to what undergraduate students would encounter in religion classes at other universities.

Outreach

"Happy are those
who consider the poor;
the Lord delivers them
​in the day of trouble."
-- Psalm 41:1

The Great Commandment teaches us that loving God and loving our neighbors are inseparable. The "Outreach" ministries of the Wesley Foundation provide opportunities to serve the broader community. We seek to provide care and comfort to those suffering from crisis and calamity, and we work to remove barriers that keep people trapped in poverty and despair.

Fellowship

"How very good
and pleasant it is
when we live
​together in unity!"
-- Psalm 133:1

The life of faith is not a life easily lived out in isolation. Our "Fellowship" ministries are specifically designed to foster a sense of friendship, belonging, and trust among the members of the Wesley Foundation community.  In addition, we strive to offer hospitality to all members of the Georgia Tech community through the exemplification of Jesus Christ's love for all people.

Stewardship

"The earth is the Lord's,
and everything in it,
the world,
and all who live in it."
-- Psalm 24:1-2

Stewardship at the Wesley Foundation is a community effort. Our Board of Directors facilitates improvements  for our building while our residents look after day to day upkeep. Students volunteer to work in the yard to keep the outside of the building beautiful, and finally alumni, parents, and local churches support all of our efforts through the donation of their time and money.
