As orthodox Christians in the Wesleyan tradition, Awakening Collegiate Fellowship (ACF) is rooted in the mission of the early church, the passion of the Great Awakening, and the fresh outpouring of the Asbury Awakening—calling students, faculty, and staff to live as a community of revival and renewal on campus.
Our Purpose:
To awaken hearts and lives to the transforming power of God’s grace.
Our Missional Emphasis:
Called to the Campus
Connected to the Church
Committed to the Kingdom
Our Vision:
To raise a generation of students marked by the presence, power, and purposes of God—young men and women who encounter the Father’s heart, walk in the love and lordship of Jesus, and live empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring His Kingdom on campus and into the world.
Our Core Commitments:
Relational Discipleship: Following Jesus together through intentional relationships
Presence of God: Living aware of God’s constant nearness and manifest power
Formed by Scripture: Shaped and guided by the truth of God’s Word
Leadership: Building God-given capacity in leaders & entrusting them with the mission
Awakening: Fully awake to the things of God and fully alive in the light of Christ, we live wide awake—longing for life on earth as it is in heaven—as we know Jesus, become like Him, and steward a deep hunger for more of God and a genuine movement of the Holy Spirit on college campuses.
Our Statement of Faith:
The Statement of Faith is the doctrinal foundation of Awakening Collegiate Fellowship and contained within “Part One: Doctrinal Foundations” of the Global Methodist Church’s Book of Doctrines and Discipline.

The Awakening Collegiate Fellowships movement began at campuses in Georgia in 2025 when several former Wesley Foundations responded redemptively in a season of disagreement and separation. Awakening UWF is the 10th ACF chapter in the nation.
Awakening Collegiate Fellowship is an independent Wesleyan-minded campus ministry that partners closely with the Global Methodist Church as well as other Methodist and Wesleyan churches.
