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: A Service of Lament
Wednesday, March 4, 2026 | 6:30PM
Join us for our monthly worship service! This month, our theme is “A Service of Lament: Naming the Forgotten Women of Scripture and Today.” We will be reading and reflecting on what Phyllis Trible calls the Bible’s “Texts of Terror.”
As Rachel Held Evans once wrote, “Those who seek to glorify biblical womanhood have forgotten the dark stories. They have forgotten that the concubine of Bethlehem, the raped princess of David’s house, the daughter of Jephthah, and the countless unnamed women who lived and died between the lines of Scripture exploited, neglected, ravaged, and crushed at the hand of patriarchy are as much a part of our shared narrative as Deborah, Esther, Rebekah, and Ruth.”
Dinner is served at 6:30pm and the service begins at 7:15pm. All are welcome!
Guided Birding Hike
Saturday, March 21, 2026 | 9AM-12PM
Our quarterly District YA Gathering will be a guided birding hike with Rev. Matt Patrick! We'll be hiking at Oxley Trails and learning about the diverse bird population in Oklahoma. Bring binoculars if you have them!
RSVP is required for this event! Please email emily-robnett@wesleytu.org no later than March 16th if you plan to go.
