What's
Wesley Fellowship?
We're an OPEN-minded, RELAXED, CASUAL but very INTENTIONAL and REVERENT progressive Christian campus ministry at the University of Colorado at Boulder sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Methodist Church along with generous congregations and individuals. We're open to all people from any background, and any orientation, who seek to grow in their understanding and walk with God through Jesus the Christ. Only about half of the folks who are active with us happen to have a Methodist background. We focus upon being faithful, thoughtful, loving, open-minded, non-judgmental Christians.
Our name comes from John Wesley - the founder of the famed "Methodist" campus ministry movement in Christianity.
