The Wesleyan Church is an evangelical, Protestant, holiness denomination organized to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. The technical name for our church's theological heritage is Arminian-Wesleyan. This refers to the teachings of James Arminius and John Wesley. Arminius (1560-1609), a Dutch theologian, stressed that God has predestined all who believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life and those who reject Him for eternal separation from God; that He has given us as human beings true freedom to accept or reject this salvation; that He offers grace to enable all persons to repent and believe; and that believers are secure spiritually in Christ based on continued faith and obedience to God.

Wesley was a priest in the Church of England in the 1700's and the founder of the Methodist movement. He added to Arminius' insights an emphasis on the assurance of salvation believers can enjoy through the inner "witness of the Spirit". He also taught about the entire sanctification of believers by which their hearts are made perfect in love for God and other persons.

Wesleyans are convinced that the Bible is God's written Word and the final authority for all Christian beliefs and practices.

Mission Statement

F-amily Oriented

O-utreach Minded

C-hrist-Centered Church, with

U-nified Ministries, seeking

S-piritual Growth through

E-vangelism and

D-iscipleship

We recognize that everyone in every stage of life is part of God's family; therefore our desire as a family oriented church is to create worship environments and activities that will minister to all individuals.

We believe that ministry does not only occur within a church building, but everywhere we go; therefore we well seek to reach out to those in need around us.

We acknowledge that Jesus Christ was born or a virgin, died, rose again, and is our Lord and Savior, therefore we will keep Christ at the center of all that we do.

We understand the importance of teamwork, and that we have all been given different gifts and abilities; therefore our ministries will take a "one body with many parts" mindset. (I Corinthians 12:12-31)

We want to see people growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ; and so we will seek to teach challenging biblical truths in a very applicable and life changing way.

We know there is a world full of people who do not know Jesus (many of whom may be members of our family, friends neighbors, co-workers, etc.), therefore we will train and encourage individuals to have a more evangelistic approach to their faith.  Our ministries will also carry evangelistic tones.

Family, quantity is nothing without quality, therefore our purpose in emphasizing discipleship is to see individuals know what they believe, why they believe it and to teach their Christian beliefs to those around them
