HISTORY
Since its beginning in 1935,
The Wesley Foundation at Texas Tech
has been a "home away from home" for Tech students. The donation of our
present building in 1950 by Dr. and Mrs. M.C. Overton has helped us to provide
that "home" to students. We have had a long history of teaching students about
God's love and preparing them to be strong Christian leaders through the many
small groups, mission trips, Bible studies, and worship experiences offered.
Our goal is that every student, faculty, staff, and administrator at Texas
Tech might know the unconditional acceptance and love of God available in
Jesus Christ.
As we move boldly into this new
millennium, The Wesley Foundation proudly continues its long-standing
tradition of impacting college students and equipping them for life-long
Christian service. Thousands of students have walked the halls of Wesley.
Those same students go on to become influential and active leaders in their
local congregations within the Northwest Texas Conference and throughout the
nation and world. Furthermore, we have had well over 200 individuals go into
full-time ministry serving as local pastors, campus ministers, youth
ministers, worship leaders, leaders in higher Christian education, and even
overseas missionaries. Truly, the Wesley Foundation is following the ultimate
command Jesus gave the disciples as we go everywhere and tell everyone the
Good News of our risen Savior.
