A Campus Ministry for ALL!
The Wesley Foundation at the University of Tulsa is a United Methodist Campus ministry.
We are a welcoming community committed to affirming the worth and dignity of every individual. Persons of every race, age, gender, gender identity, ability, social status, sexual orientation, or faith tradition are fully welcomed and celebrated here!
The Wesley at the University of Tulsa is the only Wesley Foundation in the Tulsa metro—and we're here for all college-age students, no matter where you go to school. Whether you're at TU, TCC, OSU-Tulsa, OU-Tulsa, Langston-Tulsa, or another program in the area, you have a place here. Come as you are—we’d love to connect, grow, and walk alongside you in faith and community.
No matter your worship style—traditional or modern—there’s a place for you at the Wesley. Every Sunday, University UMC (our nextdoor neighbor!) offers a traditional service that always includes Holy Communion. Once a month, we also gather for “Unplugged,” a modern worship experience designed to help you slow down, reflect, and connect deeply with the Divine.
Worship
At the Wesley, we believe faith should be curious, courageous, and connected to real life. That’s why, throughout the year, we dive into studies that don’t just teach the basics of the Bible—they help us wrestle with how our faith intersects with the world around us. Our studies are a space to ask big questions, grow in community, and explore what it means to follow Jesus here and now.
Biblical studies
service
As United Methodists, we believe faith is something you live. That’s why we partner with local nonprofits and show up where help is needed most. Each month, we take on one big service project—putting our faith into action and making a real impact in our community. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or jumping in for the first time, there’s a place for you to serve.
Upcoming ACTiviTIES
Worship Night: Resisting Empire
Wednesday, February 4, 2026 | 6:30PM
Join us for our monthly worship service! This month, our theme is “Resisting Empire,” and we will welcome Jay Williams of Phillips Theological Seminary as our guest preacher. We will explore Luke 19:45–48 with a message titled, “This Was Supposed to Be a Sanctuary.”
Jesus walks into the temple and shuts it DOWN because it stopped being holy and started being harmful. This sermon is about prophetic disruption—what happens when faith gets tangled up with power, and the vulnerable pay the price. Because when sanctuary turns into complicity, Jesus doesn’t stay quiet.
Super Bowl Party
Sunday, February 8, 2026 | 5PM
Come watch the big game with us! We will have a vast array of snacks (wings, pizza, nachos, etc.) and Super Smash Bros. as well as Mario Kart. There’s something for everyone — even if you’re only coming to watch Bad Bunny’s halftime show.
