At
Wesley UMC, the youth leaders are all strong individually, but also
come together as a solid team. With this strength, we aim at
continuing to provide a stable environment and a dependable program for
our youth. Fundraising, church-wide events, as well as support to
the neighboring community are included in the program.
A solid youth group is formed by friendly relationships with peers, and
at Wesley UMC we strive to provide activities and events where those
friendships are nurtured and developed. The youth often plan and
organize social events themselves, developing leadership skills as well
as creating and maintaining meaningful Christian friendships.
All
Junior and Senior High youth are invited to join us for weekly Sunday
meetings. We attend the beginning part of 10:00 a.m. worship
service and adjourn to our classroom until 11:30 a.m. Please also
join us for the 11:30 a.m. Contemporary Worship Service where many of
our students participate in the fun and uplifting praise music.
Cub Scouts is a family and home centered program that develops ethical decision making skills for boys in the first through fifth grade (or who are ages 7 through 10). Activities emphasize character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness.
Boy Scouting A program for boys 11 through 17 designed to achieve the aims of Scouting through a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster. (Boys also may become Boy Scouts if they have earned the Arrow of Light Award or have completed the fifth grade.)

Wesley
Young
Adult Group is for anybody between the ages of 18 and
30-something. It is for learning more about the Bible, nurturing
your spirit, building a network and developing your leadership
skills. We've planned many activities and here is a list of
upcoming events:
Coffee is served; the Bible Study concludes about 8:45 AM. If you are a "morning person" who enjoys an informal early morning fellowship, you will enjoy this very warm and friendly group. It will be worth your time to get up and meet with this group.
Jim Tengan leads the adult Bible study held on Sundays at 11:30 AM (after worship service). Jim began this Bible study in the early 1980's and he continues to lead the class diligently every week (except when there is a conflict with a greater church wide program).
It is an informal
Bible
study open to anybody who is interested in learning about Jesus and
incorporating His teachings into his/her daily life. The class chooses
(by democratic voting) books or Bible study materials that are
interesting to the class. Therefore, the study materials chosen by the
class vary offering a wide variety of styles, approaches and topics
relating to the Bible and the life in the Jesus' Church.
Later in March they will
begin study of Faith Is the Answer,
But What Are the Questions?
In his latest book, James W. Moore says there are a number of tough
questions we grapple with daily in our challenging times. How
does faith help us when problems arise? How does the Christian
faith strengthen us when suffering or tragedy or heartache explodes
into our lives? How does the Holy Spirit help us? Did Jesus
really mean for us to love everybody? In this hectic world, with
so many things crying out for our allegiance and support, whom can we
trust?
Faith is the answer, of course, but still…what are the questions?
And how do we respond to them honestly, creatively, and
redemptively? That is the adventure before us. These, and
other questions, are dealt with in this book.
James W. Moore, popular speaker and preacher, is the author of several
dozen books. Join the 11:30 Adult Bible Study Class on Sunday in
the Fireside Room as we discuss his current book.
JESUS IN THE GOSPELS
invites believers to look at Jesus in each of the four Gospels and ask
the question, "Who is the Jesus that you see?" This study will
deepen discipleship through better understanding of the biblical texts
and their message.
If you are interested in
either class please call the office to reserve a book.
