Mondays @ 8PM
Freshmen Ministry is for first-year students seeking an authentic faith. We meet on Monday nights @ 8pm at the Wesley Foundation. At these meetings, students can expect passionate worship and applicable teaching, as well as a chance to connect with others in a small group setting. Our Freshmen Ministry uses small groups, retreats, mission trips, and fellowship events in an effort to help first-year students develop and maintain an authentic, lasting relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Freshmen Community Groups
It’s surprising how difficult it can be to find good friends on a campus of 30,000+ students. New students experience this difficulty year after year, and that’s why we offer Freshmen Community Groups. The groups are led by students from our Leadership Team who remember what it feels like be to the new guy/girl on the scene. These same-sex groups are intended to help you connect with God and connect with others. The groups meet after worship and a short teaching on Monday nights.
Freshmen Retreat
What does it really look like to follow Christ? It’s a question you might be asking by your second week in classes in Athens. Freshmen Retreat is a great opportunity to worship, hang out, and learn more about how to follow Christ as a student at UGA. The Retreat will be held September 29 - October 1 at the Wahsega 4-H Center in Dahlonega.
Jamaica Mission Trip
During Spring Break we take 40-50 first year students to Jamaica for an amazing missions experience. On this trip, you’ll be led by some of our staff members including our Director, Bob Beckwith. It’s a great opportunity to discover God’s heart for others around the world while having a great time with friends. Spaces are limited, so come on Monday nights in the Fall to find out more and sign-up!
