Get Involved
A Week at the Texas Wesley
Worship
We begin our weekly night of worship (AKA “Overflow”) on Thursdays at 6:15 pm with a free meal* and service at 7 pm. Our Overflows include contemporary and traditional worship music, a brief message from one of our students (AKA “Currents”), prayer, communion, and a sermon. For those that cannot attend the service, we stream all of our Overflows on our YouTube channel.
*We are mindful of dietary restrictions by providing vegetarian and gluten-free options at all meals.
Grow Groups
We offer a variety of small groups led by our staff and/or Grow Team leaders that encourage students to grow deeper in their faith in Jesus. Our small groups are safe spaces for students to vulnerably share, discuss, question, and learn.
Learn more about this semester’s small group offerings here.
Social and Service Events
The Wesley encourages students to connect with others through participating in weekly social and service events. Past social events have included playing arcade games at Pinballz, dressing up for Halloween parties, paddleboarding on the lake, and our Couch Day scavenger hunt tradition. Some of our service events have included teaming up with/serving Feed My People, the UT Microfarm, Austin’s Yellow Bike Project, and Austin Pets Alive.
Semester Events
Retreats
Every semester, the Wesley takes students on a weekend retreat to escape the city and connect with God. Retreats include impactful guest speakers, encouraging messages, and fun outdoor activities. They are great opportunities to recharge and develop deeper relationships with others.
Travel
The Texas Wesley offers opportunities for travel for mission trips, spiritual formation, and fun! Past mission trips have included partnering with U.M. ARMY, Casas Por Christo, and Salud y Paz. Past spiritual formation trips included a Civil Rights Pilgrimage through Mississippi and Alabama. Last year, several students took a trip to Starkville, MS to the Texas Mississippi State football game and visited the MS State Wesley. Upcoming opportunities include a mission trip to Belize in December 2026, College UM Army in May 2027, and a week in Iona, Scotland, in August 2027.
