Love to read? Join our Monthly Book Club, led by Rev. Dr. Natalee Dukes Hamby, Callie Waller, and Nate Roberson. Each month, we’ll gather for a thoughtful intergenerational conversation about a selected book and explore how its themes intersect with our daily lives and faith. Our first gathering is September 27 at 4:00 p.m., when we’ll discuss James McBride’s The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. Purchase your own copy and read at your own pace before we meet. Register online to let us know you're joining us!

These kids are excited to be here and are passionate about scripture memorization - so much so that we ran out of prizes last week! We hope you will join us next Sunday as we start our new theme: "Frequency - Learning to hear from God"

Students in grades 6-12 are invited to join the Wesleyan Youth Choir for a year of singing, traveling, and fun! We meet in the Choir Room at 4:30 p.m. on Sundays.

Wesleyan Youth Choir is about more than music. It's an opportunity to build friendships, grow in faith, and connect with people in our church, community, and across the country. We'd love to have you join us!

Dolly Parton shared God's light and love with countless people through her music, generosity, and life. In her memory, we share this 2024 clip of our Sanctuary Choir with soprano Ava Bogarde, singing her beloved classic, "The Light of a Clear Blue Morning." 🦋
