United Campus Ministry - Wesley Texas State University, San Marcos
The United Campus Ministry-Wesley was established on the campus at Southwest Texas State University as an ecumenical campus ministry in 1956. “UCM-Wesley,” formerly known as the Campus Christian Community, became a Wesley Foundation in 2008. The university, recently renamed Texas State University, has an enrollment of over 25,000 students, many of whom commute. UCM-Wesley serves students through a host of programs.
We serve Bible Study with a home-cooked meal. We connect by email through a program that allows students to be entered through a questionnaire. Many check out the data and come in person later. There are proportionately many more females than males at the university and in UCM-Wesley. The "Face Book" program is a virtual hit and has revitalized UCM-Wesley to about 100 strong.
Students take mission trips to places like Piedras Negras to give assistance to flood victims. The Wesley sponsored the San Marcos C.R.O.P. Walk. We participate in Habitat for Humanity, service-learning projects, Price Lecture Series, charity events, Wednesday Night Vespers, and Food for Thought Luncheons. We especially enjoy helping youth and senior adults share their gifts with each other and the community, forming bonds and improving lives.
