Celebrate 100 Years with Wesley at CMU

Our ministry at CMU turns 100 years old this year! In May 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 having a 100th birthday party on May 2, 2026 at 12pm. We'll share stories of our history, hear music from supporters and alumni, worship with Michigan UMC Bishop David Bard, and enjoy a "chicken lunch" in honor of that founding chicken dinner in 1926.
