Welcome New Students!
All of us at Valley Wesley want to congratulate you on your graduation from high school, completion of community college, or completion of your undergraduate degree and your decision to further your education. You must be feeling a number of mixed emotions as you prepare to begin the next step of your life’s journey. Along with the next step in your educational journey, however, comes an opportunity to continue your spiritual journey. Valley Wesley is the United Methodist Campus Ministry for Arizona State University, community colleges, and technical schools and is open to all college students looking for a welcoming and non-judgmental faith community. We meet every Wednesday night during the school year at First Tempe UMC for a free dinner followed by worship. Many students find this to be the best part of their week. Students who are unable to join us on Wednesday nights are still welcome to attend events and gatherings throughout the week or can join us for worship on Sunday mornings for traditional worship at 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m., or for contemporary worship at 11:30 a.m.
Through their participation in Wesley a number of students have built solid relationships with each other and with God. In our ministry we believe everyone goes at their own pace on their journey of faith. We offer an atmosphere where you can freely explore your faith amongst others who are doing the same. I would like to invite you to join us for one or more of our many activities that will be happening beginning in mid-August. You can stay up to date on those and all of our activities on www.valleywesley.com. There you can also find information about our fall sermon series, follow my blog, and stay up to date with the latest Wesley news. We will also be having a retreat to San Diego over Labor Day weekend, September 4-7. The cost is only $25 and you can read-up on the details and register here.
Being a part of Wesley will give you a spiritual home while at college and is a great way to build new relationships with other students. You can find us at 215 E. University Dr in Tempe. We are located on the grounds of Tempe First UMC at the beginning of Forest Mall. If you will be parking at the church, simply tell the parking attendant that you are there for Wesley or to see pastor Rob and he will give you a spot free of charge. You can always call us at 480-966-8425 or e-mail director@valleywesley.com. You can also find links to our Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and You Tube pages through our website. Congratulations again on all of your accomplishments, we hope that you will take a moment come check us out when you get to campus. If you do, it just may change your life forever.
