With the updates and revamping of the WesleyCollege.edu web site, the Message boards have been off-line. Since there is no link currently on the main site, they have been added to the News page on the left. Wesley College Students, Faculty, Alumni, and friends are invited to take advantage of the Message Boards and online flash games – great for blowing off steam.
On October 30, Wesley College was priviledged to host Misissippi Governor Haley Barbour. Governor Barbour met with a group of local pastors at a reception, and then spoke in the College chapel. The Governor’s message was clear – Your personal faith shapes your values, and Judeo/Christian values were the foundational values that shaped our country. Governor Barbour expressed to the students that Christians today should be involved in the political process.
Celebration is a high school youth retreat and college preview weekend. The goal is to have a lot of fun, grow in our spiritual life, and learn something about Wesley College. Students will come from all over to participate in this annual event. Cameron Shiflett, Youth Pastor at Rock Springs Congregational Methodist Church in Milner, Ga, will be our speaker. Cameron is a dynamic speaker, and we are looking forward to having him with us for the weekend.

Florence MS. – May 11, 2007
Wesley College held its annual commencement exercises on Friday, May 11, 2007, at the Florence Mississippi Middle School Auditorium. This year’s graduating class is notable – not because of the small size, but rather the quality of the graduates. Read the rest of this entry »
On Saturday, April 14th, 2007, the Clarion Ledger newspaper published an article about Wesley, written by Jean Gordon.
FLORENCE — At Wesley College’s morning chapel this week, seniors Masato Ito and Calvin White spoke from the stage about their Christian faith.
Ito, a Tokyo native, grew up a believer in a country where 99 percent of the population is not Christian.
White was raised in Bentonia, a small Yazoo County town of 500 where church sits at the center of community life.
Though the students’ paths differ, both led them to this tiny Bible college just south of Jackson.
Tremors from Clinton
While victories over the likes of Belhaven, Southeastern University, and Tougaloo had caused some eyebrows to be raised, virtually no one expected Wesley College of the NCCAA division II to walk away from the campus of Mississippi College with a win. The closest Wesley had come to besting the Choctaws was the thirty point defeat of 2005. The fallout from the 2006 match-up was massive by Wesley College standards. The game was covered by several local television news crews, and the outcome was in the Clarion Ledger. Because of the win over MC, Wesley began to receive attention and recognition. When the first NCCAA rankings were released a short time later, Wesley would find itself holding the #1 position in the land – a position it would hold for the majority of the season.
When the 2006/2007 basketball season tipped off, the Warriors of Wesley College were barely a blip on the radar of anyone outside the Florence Mississippi area. For that matter, few outside of those who inhabit the modest forty acre campus just off of highway 49 knew that Wesley even had a college basketball team. That was soon to change.
March 9, 2007 – Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
On paper Wesley College was the home team and Mid-America Christian University was the visitor. In reality, nothing was further from the truth.
March 8, 2007, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
The Wesley College Warriors and the Mid-America Christian University Evangels are to meet in the semifinals of the NCCAA National Tournament on March 9, 2007 at 8:00 pm.
March 8, 2007, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
The Wesley College Warriors of the NCCAA South region defeated the West region Multnomah Lions Thursday afternoon, by a final score of 98-91. With the win, Wesley moves to 25-11 on the season. Multnomah ends their season at 21-16.
