Our Mission

Serve the Church
When we serve we are being like Jesus. Jesus calls us to serve within our faith community so that we can grow in our faith and be equipped to go into the world to share the love of God with all people. The primary areas of Serve Here are Hospitality and Food Service. Serving at Wesley Chapel also includes other ministry areas such as Worship, Faith Development, and Facility Team just to name a few. There are always opportunities to serve and we would love to have you connected to Wesley Chapel through service.

How I Became A Christian

Written by Pat McKain
As I got older, I began to wonder if there was something more to this spiritual life. God promised in the Bible that walking with Him brought an abundant life. Mine felt like I was going through the motions sometimes. I wanted more! I began seriously seeking God in my early 40s. I especially focused on what mysteries God might reveal through His Word because I felt like I had missed something for which I needed to dig deeper. For two years, I sought the Lord. “Seek and you will find!” (Matt 7:7). I immersed myself in scripture, books, prayer, and the counsel of others. I was serious about seeking. After two years, the Lord answered my prayer! A new peace that passes understanding pervaded my life. Everything changed! It was a second work of grace.
You’ve heard it said, “When you’re saved, you get all of God. When you are totally surrendered to Him, He gets all of you.” The abundant life is more than satisfying…no more questions about His Presence in my life. Thank the Lord for His grace!

Worship: Where do people expect you to be on Sunday morning?

Luke 2: 49 “Why were you searching for me?” 12-year-old Jesus asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”
God created the world in six days, and on the seventh day He rested (Genesis 1:1-2:2). That day became the Sabbath, meaning “to rest from labor.” When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, one of them was “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8).
As a child, I really didn’t grasp the meaning of Sabbath day, but I knew that on Sunday morning my parents and I went to church. Mother would prepare foods in advance to fix for Sunday dinner after church, and I also remember Dad stretched out in his reclining chair pretty much the remainder of the day. Sometimes friends or family members would come for dinner, but activities were few on that day of the week. The return of the workweek was a much different setting, with both Mother and Dad working hard to accomplish their tasks for us as a family.
In the Bible, God calls us to regular, weekly worship so that together, we can share in thankfulness to Him through our songs, prayers, studying His word, and acts of kindness to one another. Fortunately, my parents, and I hope many of yours, instilled that regular weekly worship to God into your routine for the week.
Back in the early days of this great country, our early relatives also set aside that day of rest. Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family spent all day Saturday getting ready for Sunday. In her book, Little House in the Big Woods (1871, early Wisconsin), the family bathed, pressed their Sunday-best clothes, and prepared all of their meals for the next day. On Sunday morning, they fixed their hair, donned their fresh, clean clothes and had church in their own home. They then were quiet the rest of the day! They kept the Sabbath day holy!
Things have changed so much these days! It happened slowly, perhaps. American Christians seem to have all sorts of activity on Sunday. Some people work, either by choice or necessity. Some go out to eat and some worship on a different day of the week. And the list can go on and on.
To me, Sundays are a gift and a blessing. Sunday is my favorite day of the week because I am blessed to meet with my pastor and other believers. I’m blessed to share my musical talent most weeks in some fashion. Now I’m even blessed by friends who gather in my Sunday school class as we study the word together. What a wonderful time we have, sharing and discussing!
Where do people expect you to be on Sunday morning? You have to answer that one yourself. But for me, I expect myself to be in church, and that is where I choose to be.

Serve

Written by Sidney Poindexter
For me, I have felt the call to not only be a witness to those in my everyday life but to people around the world. When I get to serve in the Dominican Republic, I do have a bit of a language barrier. However, the Lord doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called. Sharing Jesus with others, especially children, brings an overwhelming amount of joy into my heart. We aren’t meant to be ashamed or embarrassed by Jesus. He is our one source of peace, joy, and love.
Jesus is shown in us by serving and helping others through all kinds of work. In the Dominican, I have painted inside and outside homes, laid concrete, flattened land, cleaned for others, served food, and done even simple tasks, like holding open a door. Jesus put others first every day, no matter what. He was selfless during His entire life. Serving puts yourself second and others first, just as Jesus did.
I believe everyone should have the opportunity and chance to step out of their comfort zone, leave their normal life, and be immersed in another culture for a short time. Being a missionary and a servant of God has opened up my eyes and humbled me greatly. If you would have told me 5 years ago this is where I would be in life, I think I would have laughed. I’m so grateful to be the Lord’s witness.
You can be a witness without going to another country, too. Jesus meets us where we are and gives us opportunities to share and serve daily. Maybe it’s holding open the door for someone. Perhaps you see someone struggling with groceries and you offer to help. Paying for the person’s food behind you in the drive-through. Unspoken acts of kindness. That is how we serve. Be like Jesus, and serve without selfishness.
How can my actions benefit another person? How can I be like Jesus today? How can I be a witness? The answer is simple: serve.
