Wesley, at the age of 49, is pregnant! We are about to birth a new worship community! In our third year of intentional college-age ministry, we will be launching a late Sunday morning worship service in the downtown area near the college campuses. Our goal is to provide a Wesley worship experience that is geographically and culturally within reach of the largest population of young adults in Springfield.
Pastor Matt Kerner will take the lead in organizing and leading this 5th worship service of Wesley United Methodist Church. The exact time and place for this gathering is still being determined, but it will be launched on August 18 as college students approach their new fall semester. A launch team is being assembled, and all who are interested in supporting this new worship service, regardless of age, and invited to contact Matt (417-350-9806).
The mission of Wesley United Methodist Church is to develop more fruitful disciples of Jesus Christ who worship, care and serve. We are investing our resources in establishing this second campus of worship to expand our reach physically to the college community concentrated in the Springfield downtown area. It is also a joy to reconnect with our Wesley college-aged students who have been away at school and are home for the summer. I look forward to hearing your stories of faith development in the places where you have been attending school.
