About Us

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.

The Christian Life Center was dedicated in 2006, and the Note was burned.

June 24, 2007, the ground-breaking of the New Sanctuary began. The will of the church was as strong as the iron beams and the heart of Wesley was inscribed with prayers and scriptures. The true beauty of Wesley was taking shape. A beacon of hope was affixed to be the light shining in the darkness.

The church family moved into the New Sanctuary August 8, 2008, and the first service was held. 

The last note of the Sanctuary was paid. It is with great joy and thanksgiving that Wesley is dedicated to our Lord on the 18th day of August 2019.
