The Denton Wesley Foundation is a registered nonprofit organization, ministry of the United Methodist Church, and official Reconciling Ministry, serving students at the University of North Texas (UNT), Texas Woman's University (TWU), and North Central Texas College.
Their Statement of Faith best describes why they are able to be so impactful. A few of those statements are: "We follow a God who is the force behind all that is good and life-giving, the liberator of the oppressed, whose power is love. We follow a Christ who opposes the powers of this world that perpetuate domination, inequality, oppression, and hostility. We affirm that our faith is a verb and compels us to be catalysts for peace, light, wisdom, and love. Let it be so.
We embody a Church that is created to love, to affirm the image of God in all who are around us, and to form self-giving, reciprocal relationships with others - and the Other. As the Denton Wesley Foundation, we will resist discrimination and oppression in all their forms, as well as the power that uses or results in domination, harm, or inequality. We reject the use of Scripture or Christianity in any way that constitutes "spiritual abuse" or seeks to shame us. Instead, we embrace a faith that liberates us and leads us closer to a loving God. We will create, bring change for peace, stand with the marginalized, speak out for justice, and build a safe, loving, but challenging genuine community."
This is truly a safe place where young people can believe that God loves all of his children.
