Connecting the church to the community
At Wesley, we are all about serving our community! We believe that the best way to connect with each other is to serve each other. Throughout the year, we offer opportunities to serve our community and beyond through partnerships with other ministries and church-led opportunities.
Yard Sale
The Yard Sale is an event that is held twice a year with the proceeds from the sale supporting various mission teams or ministry opportunities at Wesley UMC. The 2026 Spring Yard Sale will be Saturday, March 28.
Mechanics Ministry
People with older or unneeded cars often donate them to Wesley. Our team of mechanics then provides a basic tune-up and fixes any other mechanical issues before identifying a client in need of a car. Clients are referred by area social agencies.
Men in Mission
Men in Mission meet every Tuesday morning at 8am at the church for a "Bring Your Own Breakfast" meal. They begin by discussing business and then move on to a book or bible study. Afterward, they go into the community or around the church to do basic repairs, build wheelchair ramps or do construction work for those in need.
Relief & Recovery
Faith Care clinic
Restart augusta
The Wesley Relief and Recovery Team leads a number of construction and storm relief projects each year. Projects range from one-day local projects to week-long or longer out-of-town disaster recovery trips. You might think you are signing up to serve, but you will discover that you receive more in return than you could ever give.
FaithCare is a free clinic that offers faith-based medical and spiritual care to treat the whole person. FaithCare provides treatment for acute minor illness, ongoing primary care, counseling and prescription assistance for Columbia County residents without insurance. Visits are by appointment only, so call 706-829-2584. Phones are monitored by volunteers, and calls may not be returned immediately.
ReStart Augusta is a non-profit partner of Wesley UMC run entirely by volunteers who build, paint and deliver beds to those without them. Clients are referred by area social agencies.
Foreign Missions
Our foreign mission teams have traveled to Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Kenya, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Russia. They have hosted medical clinics, Vacation Bible Schools and women’s handiwork workshops, and assisted with construction projects.
Faith build project
Mr. Slater, a veteran living in Appling with his wife, daughter, & grandchildren, was identified through a Columbia County veterans program in need of housing support. After assessing the condition of the family's aging mobile home, Wesley's Relief & Recovery Team recommended building a new, safe, & permanent home.
In partnership with Columbia County, Habitat for Humanity, & local contractors, we are working to provide the Slater family with a fresh start—replacing their current home with a newly constructed residence, supported entirely by donated labor and materials.
