Celebrate 100 Years with Wesley at CMU
Our ministry at CMU turns 100 years old in 2026! On May 12, 1926, the founding board of directors met over a chicken dinner to dream up a ministry that would support young adults in leadership and faith. Nearly a century later, that dream and mission remains!
In celebration of this milestone, we're sharing stories of our history and the invitation to continue supporting our ministry for the century to come.
