“South Wesley is not just a campus ministry. It’s a place where my faith has grown, and the community truly feels like family.” - Tiffany Gookin, Outreach Leader
Very soon, students at the University of South Alabama will begin searching for belonging, hope, and spiritual guidance. South Wesley is here to meet them — but we need your help to keep the doors open and the ministry strong.
College is hard enough—exams, papers, and deadlines weigh heavy. No student should also face spiritual loneliness, physical hunger, or the fear of having no safe place to belong. That’s why South Wesley exists: to be a bridge from isolation to connection, from stagnation to spiritual growth, from the pressures of culture to a life shaped by Christ.
And South Wesley does not do this alone. It is through the generosity and support of local churches, small groups, and faithful individuals that the mission of South Wesley is accomplished.
The beginning of the school year is the most pivotal time to make an impact in the lives of students; however, we need you to make real change happen.
We are challenging you to help reach our goal of raising $12,000 this month. Your gift of $50 can help feed 20 students during a Welcome Week meal. $200 can mean a week of campus outreach events. Every dollar you give directly fuels ministry that changes lives.
Your generosity impacts real students who have real needs. And it cannot be done without you. As such, we ask for your prayers going into Welcome Week (August 18 - 24) and throughout the semester.
South Wesley can make a difference in the lives of these students, but we need your support! Follow this link to take the first step in caring for the college kids in your community: https://www.usawesley.org/give

“The Wesley Foundation has been instrumental in deepening my faith and leadership in Christ. Having a place to go during school where I can connect with God and surround myself with like-minded believers has been a blessing. Hearing others share their testimonies, worshiping together, and learning more about God in a welcoming environment has strengthened my faith immensely. It has also challenged me to step up as a leader not just in ministry but in my everyday walk with Christ.” - Janiya Hunt, Discipleship Leader
“Through South Wesley, I’ve been guided in my spiritual journey, supported in personal growth, and encouraged through academic challenges. This ministry is shaping me into the Christian, student, and leader God calls me to be. Finding South Wesley at such a pivotal time in life has been a blessing beyond words. The people, leaders, and ministers here truly have God’s heart in mind as they help students discover a deep love and passion for Jesus. I’m incredibly thankful to be part of this mission—and even more grateful for the faithful community that makes it possible.” - Tiffany Gookin, Outreach Leader
“The Wesley Foundation means a lot to me and holds a special place in my heart. It was the first organization I became a part of at South. My friend Jordan Dozier was the president when I first transferred and it has since become a big part of my daily life. I loved planning events and having my new ideas valued by the people of this organization. I hope to be on the board or still be connected in the future!” - Logan Gatlin, Wesley Alumnus, Wesley President ’23-’24
