NCCU Wesley
NCCU Wesley Campus Ministry is a spiritual family and faith community, providing a Christ-filled space for students to ask questions, engage in Christian fellowship and grow in their faith. Activities include small group studies, meals, worship, and service projects.
Foundational Ministry Values
NCCU Wesley is a place that welcomes all and focuses on discipleship. We gather weekly with the purpose of enjoying fellowship over a meal, strengthening faith through study, celebrating in worship, serving others through community service projects, and finding rest in a welcoming and supportive environment.
