In 1960, KSU’s Wesley Foundation purchased the Mohler property of 22 acres facing Main St. at Kent’s eastern city limits. The Wesley Foundation (for whom the Wesley Chapel is named) founded their Kent State University chapter in 1937, and their student center at 511 E. Main Street was dedicated on November 11, 1951. Wendy’s is now on that property. When the church purchased the Mohler property and began construction, the Wesley Foundation joined in the project, selling its old student center and putting forth twenty percent of the initial funding for the new building. A section of the facility on the north side was dedicated to be used by the Wesley Foundation for campus ministry and continues to be used for campus ministry today by their successor at Kent State, United Christian Ministries.
