Oliver Helsabeck

Oliver Helsabeck is the United Methodist Campus Minister and Director of the Winston-Salem Wesley Foundation, which serves the campuses of Wake Forest University, Salem College, and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. A graduate of Appalachian State University and Duke University Divinity School, Oliver served churches in the Western North Carolina Conference for over 25 years, and as an alumnus of the App State Wesley Foundation, he is excited to share the love of Christ through campus ministry, where he first experienced God’s calling. He especially wants all students to know that they are valued by God and loved as they are, and he welcomes opportunities to talk and to be in ministry together. In his spare time, Oliver is a participant in local community theaters in High Point and Winston-Salem, where you can often find him on stage and behind the scenes. He is the proud father of his daughter, Elizabeth, a music performance major at Appalachian State, and he loves spending time watching movies with her and his dog, Minnie.
