The Wesley at West Texas A&M University

In March 2024, a significant milestone was achieved as The Wesley at West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas, became the first Wesley campus ministry to officially align with the Global Methodist Church. The decision to align with the new denomination marked a bold step in faithfully answering God’s call, holding firm to the authority of Scripture, and embracing the values of humble leadership. WT Wesley, a Christian community for college students, decided to join the GM Church because it shares its dedication to making disciples of Jesus Christ and is committed to empowering the next generation to worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly.

WT Wesley leaders reported that the organization’s transition to the GM Church was driven by a deep commitment to remain grounded in biblical truth amidst a rapidly changing world. With support from both within and beyond the GM Church, WT Wesley has seen an outpouring of prayer, encouragement, and resources united behind its decision. The unity reinforces its commitment to raise up the next generation of Christian leaders, ready to serve wherever God calls them.

Sabby Mannix, WT Wesley’s Associate Director of Development, was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. A longtime member of WT Wesley, Sabby spent five years as a student and has served on staff for the past four years. When Mannix began college, she was running from the Lord and was drawn into worldly culture. The WT Wesley stepped into the gap, helping guide her back to her faith. Now, Mannix works with college students, standing in that same gap for those being pulled in countless directions—many away from God.

“Our vision is to disciple students in their calling and empower them to serve within their communities,” said Mannix. “We hope that no matter where our students go, whether into vocational ministry or the workforce, they will continue to plug into a local church and serve the body of believers.”

This mission is taking root in tangible ways as WT Wesley students engage in ministries across campus. From Bible studies to prayer groups, worship nights to campus outreach, students are living out their faith with confidence and boldness. For many, their college years are a time of deep reflection as they discern God’s call on their lives. Students who once struggled to find their place in the church are now boldly proclaiming the Gospel and leading others in faith.

“Our dream is that one day every floor in every residence hall across the university will have a Bible study,” said Mannix.

“We pray, ‘Lord, if what we’re doing helps even one person come closer to You, then we know it’s all worth it,’” said Sydni Smith, a junior at WT and student leader from Lubbock, Texas. “It’s not about the numbers or being seen by everyone; it’s about reaching that one person and making an impact for His kingdom.”
