Missions

Each spring break, students and faculty serve on short-term mission trips to various domestic and international locations. Wesleyan partners with local ministries on each trip in order to ensure we build mutually beneficial relationships with the communities we serve.

2024-2025 Mission Trips

Beginning in 2000 as 2 trips to a single location with 22 students and 6 faculty members, the missions program has seen tremendous growth since its inception. The program's success is due to an overwhelming amount of support and encouragement, both prayerfully and financially, from the Wesleyan community.

God created us to share the Good News with the world. When we give our time, our energy, and our efforts to spread the Gospel, we are simply aligning ourselves with who God created us to be.

People often wonder why mission trips are so impactful and enjoyable given the seemingly mundane tasks like mowing grass, painting an old house, or playing tag with a child. However, a typical day on a mission trip involves worship, community, service, and prayer – the very things that we were created for. No wonder our students find so much joy in these trips. It is because they are partaking in the very things that God said should occupy their days.
