Wesleyan University is NOT associated with the Wesleyan Church. Please make sure to make the distinction as there are 5 or 6 universities with “Wesleyan” in the title that are church universities.
Wesleyan University was founded in 1831 by the original John & Charles Wesley Methodist Episcopal church in America. Sadly, the original sect, has all but disappeared now and finding a Methodist church that still hews to the original concept in nigh on to impossible now; sadly.
