Our mission:
Wesley United Methodist Church seeks to be a safe and inclusive home where all are invited to walk with Jesus Christ in the world.
Home: it is not only where we are always welcome, but it is where we belong. At Wesley UMC, we want you to know you belong here with us and we welcome you to be a part of our community of faith. Sitting at the crossroads of campus and the community, we take joy in building connections between people, celebrating the love of God that holds us together. Whether we are gathering in the building or moving through the community serving side by side, there is a place for you. We are committed to being an active church that shares in an intergenerational ministry with all people: For all people are God’s people! We strive to grow as seekers and learners, leaders and world-changers, social justice workers and empowering companions as we walk with Jesus Christ through the world living the love that God offers to the world.
Welcome Home!
Created to worship.
Worship is essential to God’s plan of redemption and provides a strategic avenue for God’s entry into an alienated world. An illustration of this is found in the Lord’s Prayer, which begins with worship: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” Then, it extends the invitation “…Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9, 10). When we pray in the manner that Jesus taught His disciples, we are first, with worship, reaching into the invisible realm and then, on the grounds of our worship, welcoming the entry of His divine authority, rulership, and power into this world.
At Wesley, we believe that a natural reflection of our love for God is worship. And that worship should invade every aspect of our lives.
Jesus is the center.
Jesus is central to everything we do. We sing, pray, and preach in His powerful name. Our past, present, and future are centered on Jesus Christ. Our purpose on this earth is to make much of Jesus Christ.
“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
Colossians 1:16-17
