About Us

The Furman Wesley Fellowship, formed in the Fall of 1945 when a group of students began meeting at Buncombe Street Methodist Church, is a Furman Religious Life group supported by the United Methodist Church.  Not all the students in the group are United Methodist, but the structure and emphasis of the group are founded on the principles of Methodism.  John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, had a strong commitment to living the life of faith, not just talking about it.  The Wesley Fellowship at Furman tries to also put our faith into action.  We do this through weekly gatherings, Bible study, missions, retreats, fellowship, and much more.​

Small Groups

Throughout the year we offer the opportunity to gather in small groups around various topics.  We have found that smaller, more focused gatherings, offer a unique perspective on our faith journey.  Currently we are providing a Freshmen Group, a Sophomore/Junior Group, and a Senior Group.  If you have a creative idea for a Small Group, let us know!  




​Missions

Our Wesley Fellowship finds importance in offering  our gifts to help  others though missions.  Mission trips are planned over school breaks with smaller projects on weekends during the year.    We use Spring Break for larger [and longer] mission trips.  The past few years we have taken mission trips to Mississippi, New York City, Jacksonville, FL, New Orleans, Washington DC, and Miami.  .
