Sunday School
Sunday School for children begins right after the service until 11:30.
Worship
Worship service is at 10 am. Please come and be our guest.
Here is some of what happens here at church:
Music
Wesley is blessed with many talented musicians and you will hear them on Sundays. We invite you to come and enjoy them – and join us in singing praises on Sunday mornings!
Communion
Communion is generally a part of our Sunday service on the first Sunday of the month and major holidays. We celebrate Open Communion at Wesley United Methodist Church. All who believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God may receive the Lord’s Supper with us, regardless of religious background or church membership.
Time for Children
Every Sunday we feature “Time for Children”, a special time when your children can join others and participate in an interactive lesson delivered by our staff or volunteers. The children join the leader at the front of the service and you get to listen to the lesson as they help the leader illustrate the message.
Special Accommodations
Handicapped Accessible
Our church is handicapped-accessible using a motor-assisted door and elevator. We have multiple handicapped parking spots as well as other handicapped assistance devices within the church for those who need it.
In addition, if you are using a wheelchair, we can help you with our specialized pew area designed to fit your wheelchair and you. We customized several areas in the front of the church with shortened pews so you can remain in your chair.
Babies
Children are always welcome in our services but if you have a child who is very unhappy, you might want to use our “Cry Room.” This room is just a short distance from our worship center and is equipped with a speaker so you can listen to the service while taking care of your baby or small child.
Young Children
Your children may not want to sit through the whole service. Perhaps they would like to stay through the Time for Young Disciples and then go to the nursery area which is staffed by parents and volunteers. If you would enjoy the service more if they were in the nursery, you can also use the nursery for the full service.
Hearing Assistance
If you are one of those of us who need some help hearing the service, we have specialized equipment to help you listen. See an usher at the back of the church who will help you find the equipment and teach you to use it.
Rocking Chairs
One more option for those who struggle to get up and down during the service or have bad backs. We have purchased several very comfortable gliding rockers for those who need them and placed them in various areas and the back of the church.
