Welcome to John Wesley United Methodist Church.

Serving (mission work) is one of the keys to a well-rounded relationship with Jesus.  John Wesley UMC is a church in mission.

The mission statement of the Service Team is to provide opportunities to grow in Christian Service.

The Advance Special number for Japan relief is #3021317, put this number in the memo field on your check if you want to make a donation through John Wesley.  You can click here to follow the United Methodist News feed. Online donations can be made to Pacific Emergency, UMCOR Advance #3021317.

Every other month, join the Service Team for breakfast in the Social Hall at 8:00 a.m. followed by a work project opportunity.  We alternate between work in the community and work on small projects around the church.  Last fall we stripped and waxed floors at the REACH Cold Weather Shelter, we gardened at Holly Place and we helped a church member catch up on yard maintenance.  Ongoing projects around the church include plastering, closet cleaning and painting (inside and out).
