We believe that Jesus calls children to follow Him. Wesley’s Preschool, Play Care, & Kindergarten programs are ministries devoted to the unique needs of children from 15 months through 5 years of age. Children are nurtured in the love of Jesus to encourage their faith in God, their ability to relate to others, & the development of their self-esteem as they become the persons God wants them to be.

We believe that as we lead & affirm children, we are reaching out to families & to the community with the love of God. We are committed to building a spiritual foundation for today’s children & families & through them for the world tomorrow.
