WHY?
Why should I support ThreeHouse?
"ThreeHouse means family. No matter where I am in life, I can show up out of the blue and know that I am loved just as much, if not more, than when I left last."
We are all Beloved Children of God, loved as we are, for who we are. We are all beautifully made and deserve to have every part of ourselves accepted and embraced.
Your support helps share that message with students and young adults who are searching for community and a place to be themselves.
Since its inception in 1921, The Wesley Foundation was supported and primarily funded by the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. After 2010, a steady decline in funding began. It was around this time that the Episcopalian and Presbyterian campus ministries joined forces with the Wesley Foundation, and became known as ThreeHouse. As it grew into ThreeHouse Collaborative Campus Ministries and the Disciples of Christ and the ELCA Lutheran Campus Ministry were added to the collaboration, funding from the Iowa Annual Conference dropped even more.
Our financial support now comes from our partner congregations, alumni, and community members.
