Wesley is a lighthouse congregation
disaffiliation is not the end of this story.
We are a UMC for okc and for the future. a spiritual safe haven where all people are growing into mature christ followers that do good, do no harm, and stay in love with god – the three general rules of our united methodist life together.
Sunday School and age-level ministries
You, your spouse, and your children/grandchildren will have a place to learn and grow with others in a high-quality and engaging UMC Sunday school program. You will find Sunday activities, mid-week programming, and spring/summer/fall activities that will feel familiar to you as a United Methodist.
Spiritual guidance and comfort
Our pastors are here to walk through the spiritual, religious, emotional, and mental challenges that come with disaffiliation, and a group of Wesley members who also come from disaffiliated churches is ready to welcome and support you.
welcoming atmosphere and mission
At Wesley, the sign out front says “Inclusive and Evangelical,” and that is what we are. We hold to the best of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world, and being a church that Jesus Christ has opened to all people.
BETTER TOGETHER WITH HOMEGROUPS
Groups of 6-10 meet for one hour, once per week to share Christ, build community, and grow in faith. A way to meet new siblings in Christ, or stay in community with friends who also lost their UMC.
CHOIR, HANBELLS, AND PRAISE BAND
Did you sing in your choir? Ring bells? Play praise music? Was music a big part of your church experience? We would love to help you find your song again, for those who sing pray twice.
ENGAGING AND MEANINGFUL WORSHIP
Hear from one of the best preaching teams in the conference in a service with high quality and high participation that will strengthen your faith and prepare you for your week.
MAKE AN ACTUAL DIFFERENCE
Wesley Church is known in OKC for its tremendous outreach and mission life. We are helping ex-offenders, those with addictions, people without homes, refugees, and others find help and hope.
About Us
Wesley Church OKC is a United Methodist Church at the intersection of the Asian District, Uptown OKC, and Oklahoma City University. We have a rich and powerful 114-year history of sharing the love of Christ and helping change lives in Oklahoma City and beyond.
Our worship experience is where “tradition meets today,” and it incorporates elements of worship that are traditional and modern. Our Spiritual Voices praise team leads us in praise songs you might sing in the car on your way to work, and our Tellers organ is one of the finest in the state and leads us in Charles Wesley’s greatest hymns.
There are opportunities on Sunday and throughout the week for every age, and there are ways for you to become involved in Wesley at whatever rate is comfortable for you and your family.
Some of our new friends who come from disaffiliated churches have chosen not to move their membership but are actively involved, while others have made the decision to transfer their membership and commit their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness to Jesus through Wesley. We are a “zero pressure” Lighthouse Congregation: we will not try to pester you! However, if and when your heart and spirit are ready, you’ll be uniting with one of the most mission-driven and diverse inclusive and evangelical UMCs in Oklahoma.
Our Sunday morning gathering includes traditional families, singles, babies and young children, folks who are more conservative and others who are more progressive, international friends, OCU staff and students, and friends from our 12-Step groups which are some of the largest and most successful in Oklahoma City.
A LIGHTHOUSE CHURCH THAT WILL WALK BESIDE YOU ONE STEP AT A TIME.
A growing number of individuals, families, and retired or extension ministry clergy are finding that Wesley UMC in Oklahoma City is a place to re-connect in a local UMC that is growing and making a real difference in people’s lives and in the mission field:
CONNECT WITH OTHER UNITED METHODISTS FROM DISAFFILIATED CHURCHES WHO HAVE FOUND A HOME AT WESLEY
FIND A SAFE HAVEN FOR HEALING AND PROCESSING IN AN ATMOSPHERE THAT ALLOWS TO BECOME INVOLVED AT YOUR COMFORT LEVEL
JOIN A MOVEMENT TAKING PLACE THROUGH WESLEY THAT WILL BENEFIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THE CAUSE OF CHRIST, AND THE OKLAHOMA CONFERENCE FOR YEARS TO COME. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ACTIVATING WESLEY FOR SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP AND TRANSFORMING MISSION IN A NEW DAY
We are sorry about your home church, and we are praying for you.
We cannot begin to pretend to know what you are going through, but because we are already siblings as United Methodists and Jesus followers, we do know how to love you and express that we are all broken but all in this together.
Pastors and others who lost their church are ready to talk.
Many pastors associated with Wesley Church also have training in therapy and counseling, as well as crisis care. Some pastors and laity whose home church left have reached out and expressed that they are ready to talk more about it. If you would like to be a part of this group, please email senior minister Adam Shahan directly at pastor@wesleyokc.org and include Whitney Brown at secretary@wesleyokc.org.
