What is the UTA Wesley?

The UTA Wesley exists to create a beloved community on campus that is open, inclusive, and graciously invitational to all who seek to build a loving relationship with Jesus Christ and others.

We are a campus ministry of the United Methodist Church located on the University of Texas at Arlington campus in Arlington, TX. We are a part of the Horizon Texas Conference and are supported by local churches and individual donations. If you are interested in supporting our ministry, click here.

Do you have a building on campus?

We do! You can find us at 311 UTA Blvd. right across the street from the University Center’s main entrance. Our building is where we gather for meals, worship, small groups, Bible studies, and events. We’re open Monday - Friday from 10am to 5pm for you to study, hang out, and meet friends. We have couches, a full kitchen, ping pong table, and games.

What do you believe?

We affirm the faith shared by all Christians, with particular emphasis on God’s grace and on Christian living - putting faith and love into action. For more information, click here.

How do I sign up?

We have no membership fees or requirements. Everything we do is open to every student at UT-Arlington. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to keep up with events and opportunities to get involved. We’d love to see you!

Is Wesley a church?

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” Matthew 18:20
Yes… with a different ministry focus. For some students, through worship, dinner, mission trips, and other community gatherings, we become their church. Yet at the same time we connect to local United Methodist churches to help seeking students engage more traditional models of church. We are CONNECTIONAL, which mean we exist to connect students to Christ, college, churches, and community. We’re happy to support you in plugging in to local churches!

Can I park in your lot?

If you’re a student - absolutely! We have 11 open spots and they are first come, first serve. If you’re unable to find a spot in our lot you can typically find a spot along the west side of our building on West St. After 5:00pm and on weekends the university lot south of our building is open to those with a valid UTA parking permit.
