Most college students spend their Wednesday nights attending classes, studying or preparing for the next day. Members of the TCU Wesley Foundation, TCU’s Methodist campus ministry, spend their Wednesday nights differently.  Every Wednesday, members and guests of the TCU Wesley gather to share a meal and worship together afterward.  To many, this may sound like an ordinary religious group gathering, but it’s through the relationship TCU Wesley has built with the campus community over the past 75 years that these gatherings expand beyond religion.  The Wesley’s executive pastor, Rev. Eddie Kahler, said TCU Wesley and these Wednesday nights encapsulate Methodist historical practice through outreach to believers of all denominations and non-believers.  “Right now, only about 28% of our students come from the Methodist tradition, but our connection with more than just Methodist students reflects our Wesleyan heritage,” Kahler said. “John Wesley began the Methodist movement on a college campus coming alongside young adults to help them discover and deepen their faith.” Kahler emphasized that anyone at any stage in their religious life can find a place at the Wesley, and Wednesday nights are an easy way to do so.  “Our main gatherings on Wednesday nights for free dinner and worship help to make that space,” Kahler said. “On a typical week, students from different religious backgrounds, including no religious background, hopefully recognize the importance of or are familiar with different elements of our time together.” The attendees can find these elements in a variety of ways. “Evangelical Christians might recognize our worship music and style, Catholics might recognize portions of liturgy and an emphasis on Holy Communion (Mass) being shared each week, and non-religious students might see the value and importance in eating together and meaningful conversation for building friendships,” Kahler said.
