在大学的早期, much of the Wesleyan community held membership at the First United Methodist Church on 8th Street; however, a lack of transportation and unpaved roads made it difficult to attend services, 增加了对校园教堂的需求. Space constraints soon spurred conversations of building a stand-alone church across the street. Wesleyan faculty and staff donated a percentage of their salaries to fund the church, 1917年开业, 大学联合卫理公会教堂.
The relationship between Kansas Wesleyan and University United Methodist Church has flourished for nearly a century. 许多牧师和工作人员都获得了十大赌博平台排行榜的学位, and many of our students became active members and administrators at the church.
