when Wesley first spoke

Once upon a time there was a little community at JMU that called itself the Wesley House that really wanted to grow. We're not talking about getting taller, or larger, we're talking about growing in Christ.

I've noticed that our generation seems to be stagnant. The generation of current college students and young professionals are looking for more to life, a way to be happy with what they have amist our materialistic culture. How can you get closer to Christ when society is telling you to live your life differently? I've also noticed that compared to past generations (our parents and grandparents) there's also been a loosening of morals. I'm not sure this is entirely bad, but in the college community it certainly yields more questions. Like how can I go out and party with my friends and still call myself a Christian.

Here at the Wesley House we're trying to find these answers and support each other in our journey to be a living vision of Christ in this world. Come visit us and find out more. ;o)
