History and Faith
With faith, perseverance and the support of local businessmen and church leaders, Kansas Wesleyan University opened its doors in 1886. 我们的历史包括许多难忘的时刻,改变了我们的学生, inspired change and brought us to where we are today. 我们的大学从成立之初就建立在开拓精神的基础上. Church leaders forged the new Conference of the Northwest, garnering support for a new educational institution within it. 亨利·梅奥和丹尼尔·麦格克是第一批毕业的学生,他们相信我们的教师能把事情做好. And they did.
卫斯理的学生师从一些最有才华、最世故的学者,如本·富森, who went to Iran on a Fulbright Scholarship and attended a world parliament, Paul Stucky, 他带学生去科罗拉多进行地质实地考察,并在墨西哥和秘鲁开设学习课程, Dr. George Taylor, 他后来成为了盐碱县历史学会的主席, and David Clark, 是谁让大约300名学生和社区成员通过卫斯理大学的望远镜看到了哈利彗星. Then there was Dr. Sue McDonald, who inspired the physics club to launch a weather balloon 96,000 feet in the air, 博士和. Yuan Chiang, 他为美国宇航局指导了一个石蕊试纸项目,其中包括尝试将纸的颜色变成紫色和金色!
In the early days of the university, 卫斯理社区的大部分人于8月8日成为第一联合卫理公会教堂的成员th Street; however, 缺乏交通工具和未铺设的道路使得参加服务变得困难, elevating the need for an on-campus church. 空间的限制很快激发了在街对面建造一座独立教堂的讨论. 卫斯理大学的教职员工捐赠了他们工资的一部分来资助这座教堂, which opened in 1917, as University United Methodist Church.
堪萨斯卫斯理和大学联合卫理公会之间的关系已经蓬勃发展了近一个世纪. Many of the ministers and staff received degrees from Kansas Wesleyan, 我们的许多学生成为教会的活跃成员和管理者. 你们今天看到的选举十字在校园的所有正式活动中都有佩戴. Carved on the cross are the KWU and UUMC letters, 象征着大学和邻近教堂之间的紧密联系.
卫理公会大学联合教会已经成为卫理会经历的一部分. Together, 大学联合卫理公会的牧师和校园事工提供了许多分享信仰的机会, 祈祷和对话,让所有信仰的学生感到欢迎,因为他们继续在他们的生活中寻找意义.
