Our congregation began worshipping in 1956.. Yet "to be named" August 5, 1958 the church held its first service at Beauxart Garden Community House. Then the services moved to the National Guard Armory. Later the church settled at the Flying Chef Restaurant inside the Jefferson County Airport. A building committee was created and the name "Wesley" was chosen.
Wesley's first service was December 31, 1958 and held in the original building on this property. In 1961 the Sanctuary was added. Improvements were made and the STEEPLE was set on top of the roof. With doors opened our church family grew.
Through the years, prayers formed the foundation of Wesley. Wesley needed room for ministry. The grounds were broken for the Christian Life Center in April 1999.
Hurricane Rita took her toll in September 2005. The Sanctuary building was destroyed but not the Church. A service of love was held on October 12, 2005, and the Christian Life Center became the Arc, and the family continued to worship together.
