Our Mission

We are here to offer the love and grace of Jesus to all who we encounter. Specifically, we pray that our ministry will connect with students, serve the community of Coastal Carolina University and the local area, and grow disciples with the movement of the Spirit through fellowship, worship, and mission outreach.

"Being in CCU Wesley and around the community that it has provided has been so beneficial for me in my college experience! I couldn’t imagine being without this group. I want to see this group grow in numbers but also grow in how they want their relationship with God to look this year." - Bella Wilkins
