New to Wesley and don’t know much about it? This will hopefully be helpful…
What’s the difference between Wesley and Freshley?
Wesley
Wesley is our worship service on Wednesday nights at 7:30pm. We worship in the Dahlonega Methodist Church’s sanctuary, 107 S. Park St.
The flow of the service is that similar to a typical church service. We have announcements, a prayer, worship, biblical teaching, more worship, then a closing prayer.
The service last between an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes.
Freshley
Freshley is our weekly Freshman ministry night on Tuesdays at 7pm. We meet at the Wesley House, 89 Martin St.
We aim to build community at Freshley. We understand how difficult it can be to find community your Freshman year and can be difficult to find Christian community at that.
The flow of the night starts with a time to hang out and eat some food/snacks. Then we move into get to know you games, only the first couple of weeks. We then start with any announcements, a prayer, a short teaching, and then end with small groups.
We aim for Freshley nights to last around an hour.
Who can come?
Only Freshman are allowed at Freshley but all are welcome to come to any Wesley event we do!
Is Wesley Collegiate a part of a denomination?
No, Wesley Collegiate is not a part of a specific denomination. We consider ourselves pan-Wesleyan. Meaning we draw our roots to the Methodist lineage. There are many denominations in America from the Methodist lineage and we are able to be a college ministry for any of these denominations.
Do you have to be Christian or come from a Wesleyan theological background to come?
You do not have to be Christian or from a Wesleyan Theological background to come to any Wesley event!
We are after the heart of God and we whole heartedly believe in God. We are also Wesleyan in our theology. We want to be upfront with who we are and what we are about, so you know before ever coming to Wesley.
Do we do anything else besides Wesley and Freshley?
Absolutely! We do mission trips, community outreach, random hangout nights (movie nights, trivia nights, cookouts, etc.). We want to build a true community and believe community is built by living life with each other, not just once or twice a week.
What is the Wesley House?
The Wesley House is our college ministry house here at UNG. We want it to be your home away from home! You can come by the house anytime you want. There are normally students there studying, watching something, playing games, cooking meals, or just hanging out.
There are usually snacks in the fridge and pantry. If it has someone name on it, don’t eat or drink it. If it doesn’t then it is free game!
