Save Our Streets(SOS): Inner City Youth Ministry

College students from Wesley volunteer teaching Sunday School type lessons to inner city children in the area. Meet at Wesley at 6:15 every Thursday to go together.

Spring Break Work Project

Wesley takes a service trip every year. In 2011 we will leave March 12 and return to College Station on the 18th (during Spring break)). We have taken trips to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, Port Arthur, Texas, Del Rio, Texas and Beaumont, Texas, Lake Charles, LA and last year Nederland, TX. We have helped repair orphanages in Nuevo Laredo and Acuna, Mexico as well as providing hurricane relief in Beaumont and Lake Charles. In 2011 we will work in Bridge City, TX painting walls, repairing plumbing, laying tile, installing toilets, sinks, etc. This retreat/work project is an annual event that allows our students to give time and service to a community in need. This time promises to be fun, while at the same time showing a servant's heart and allowing us to grow in Christ.

Overseas Mission Trip

Our Wesley Foundation has gone to Belize for many years. Leaving after the Spring Semester has ended, groups of about 20 college students from Wesley travel to Belize to work on a school in Corozal. We leave on a Saturday and return on the following Sunday. The cost is not prohibitive, and is usually raised by the student's home churches. Many students have found this to be a life changing experience.

Big Event

Wesley has participated in Texas A&M's Big Event for the past 4 years. The Big Event is the largest one-day student run service project in the nation. In years past, over 7000 students volunteered to complete over 575 jobs in the Bryan/College Station Community.

Relay for Life

Wesley has participated in TAMU Habitat for Humanity's Shack-a-thon and the last few years in Relay for Life. The Shackathon raises funds for Habitat for Humanity and Relay for Life raises funds for cancer research. Both require a pledge of time and money. This past year we donated from our fundraising event, $1,500.00 to Relay for Life.
