Wesley United Methodist Church was founded on March 4, 1865 by newly freed slaves ("Freedmen") following the passage of President Lincoln's life-changing "Emancipation Proclamation" in 1863. Construction of a new church began in the Spring of 1882, and our current sanctuary was built in 1929. In 1985 the National Register of Historic Places recognized Wesley as a National Site.

We offer traditional worship with contemporary elements, so while our service is reverential the energy in the room is totally unleashed. Aretha would feel at home here, and so will you. The choir really puts their foot in it and spontaneous shouts of praise are most certainly welcome!

Our Sunday morning services have been online since the dawn of Covid in the Spring of 2020, and we look forward to reopening our doors to congregational worship Sunday, January 2, 2022!

Join us live and in person, every Sunday at 10am as we make a joyful noise to The Lord with Scripture and Song.  <more>
