'One Matters' Celebration Story: VSU Wesley Foundation
On the campus of Valdosta State University, the Wesley Foundation is more than just a gathering spot for college students. It’s a place where lives are transformed, disciples are made, and forever friendships are formed. Discipleship is at the core of their mission. The Wesley Foundation is a catalyst for transformation, fostering an environment where students not only strengthen their faith but also discover their purpose and potential.
Amidst the academic pressures, the Wesley Foundation is a refuge. Relationships form into deep, authentic connections that are not just confined to the walls of the Wesley House, they spill over into coffee shops, study sessions, and late-night conversations on the campus lawn.
"We continually invite college students to immerse themselves in a culture centered around knowing Jesus and emulating His ways," said Rev. C.J. Harp, Director of VSU Wesley. "At Wesley, students discover the depth of their significance to God, having been honored by Him in creation, redemption, and through the gift of eternal life. Our worship gatherings, home groups, and discipleship bands cultivate a culture that helps college students grow up in their salvation and live honorable lives that point people towards Jesus."
The Valdosta State University Wesley Foundation is a testament to the power of ONE MATTERS. Being a part of this ministry isn’t just a chapter in the students' college journey, it's a foundation that began because every student that walks through the doors know they matter - to the people there and to God.
As the South Georgia Conference embodies the theme of ONE MATTERS over the next year, we look forward to seeing how our conference can collectively make an even greater impact in our communities, guiding individuals toward a deeper relationship with Christ. Clergy and laity are invited to explore monthly resources around this theme and join with others across the conference in this shared mission. View February’s Toolkit here
