About Our Church

Welcome to the church of second chances, where tradition meets today! Wesley United Methodist is a revitalizing church in the heart of the Asian District that is seeing new people come to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ and is also a community of faith where people are activating their faith again for the first time in a long time. It is an amazing place that is diverse in age, class, race, status, orientation, and identity and truly reflects the garden of Jesus’ parable. Come and see for yourself – try church. 

Adam W. Shahan, senior minister

MISSION

The mission of our church is shared with our 12,000,000 members worldwide: Making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

 VISION

Wesley is living out Christ’s love for all people, for the renewal of all things. We are inclusive and evangelical, affirming all persons for full participation under Christ’s leading. 

PURPOSE

At Wesley Church, we SERVE God and others, GROW in our faith, and SHARE the love of Jesus. We serve, grow, and share through worship, small groups, and service.

COMMUNITY HUB

Wesley is not a church with partnerships, we are a church OF partnerships. We are turning our campus inside-out to be a hub for our community.

We Have the Power to Serve Christ and Serve Oklahoma City, and We’re Doing Something About It

“Thank you for being there for us.” “This church literally saved my life.” “We had sworn off church and organized religion until we found you guys.” “So welcoming to all kinds of people, they don’t judge you or look down on you.” “Great people and great worship.” “We feel loved and cared for here.” These are just a few of the comments we have received in person and online. Come and see what God is doing.

"Large enough to make a difference and small enough to feel known and cared for."

Wesley Church is a United Methodist Church for OKC and for the future, settled in the Asian District. We are at a critical intersection of faith and life, with several areas (Asian District, Uptown, Gatewood, Military Park, Paseo, Putnam Heights, and Oklahoma City University) converging in our neighborhood. 

Wesley Church has members from Gatewood and Military Park, OCU, the Greater OKC area including Edmond, Mustang, and Yukon, and a growing number of persons who are identifying with us online. 

We are doing our best to help make a transforming difference in the lives of the people Jesus has called us all to love and serve. We accomplish this with several community partners whom we join with in mission, some of whom operate on our campus: SPERO Project for refugee resettlement, Criminal Justice and Mercy Ministries for restorative justice and prison ministry, Exodus House Prison Re-entry Apartments to sponsor apartments and residents, Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous for recovery, Oklahoma City University campus ministry and international student ministry, Neighborhood Services Organization (NSO) classes for single mothers,  The Oklahoma Conference of the United Methodist Church, Wesley Kids Montessori Preschool in partnership with OCU’s certification program, The Grace Stop, The Guy Ramsey Memorial Community Breakfast, The Asian District Cultural Association, Western Area Narcotics Anonymous Literature Store, The Human Community Network, and others.
