CARE

Wesley Church is known for our variety of outreach opportunities.

We believe in being the hands and feet of Jesus, right here in our community, as well as in foreign missions. 

Congregational CARES

The mission of Congregational Care is to provide care and support to members and friends of Wesley UMC. This important ministry also provides rewarding opportunities for people to personally serve others. Some of these opportunities include Wesley Cares small group, Meal Ministry, Flower Ministry, Prayer Card Ministry, and Prayer Shawl Ministry. We also offer other support through pastoral counseling and Grief Support Group.
