Wesley Church is a great place for kids! Our age appropriate classes are anything but boring. Kids are excited and engaged about their faith! Our focus is to build a stong foundation in Christ in a safe and loving environment. Sunday School meets September through May 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. in the Educational Wing.
Our 5th through 7th grade classes explore real-life issues. With a new topic each month, students learn through games, short films and deep discussion. Confirmation is offered on a periodic basis.
Teens Loving Christ (TLC) is our student fellowship ministry for 6th through 12th grade. Everything we do is to help students take their next step. We meet every Sunday during the school year. Middle School meets from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and High School meets from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Friends, regardless of church affiliation, are welcome to join in! TLC provides a wide variety of activities in a safe Christian environment.
Every July we spend one week in a fun, themed, hands-on Bible learning experience. Kids will participate in a variety of fun activities focused on the truth and love of Jesus Christ. Teens are welcome to be activity assistants and mentor our kids during this fun filled week.
Summer Camp is the ultimate experience for kids. Wesley Church provides scholarships to offset the costs for our kids so everyone can experience the adventure of attending a Methodist Church camp. Our nearest camp is Lake Okoboji. For programming information go to: www.okobojicamp.com/summer-camps/
We have a variety of service opportunities organized by our Trustees Team. Do you have a skill set that may help Wesley maintain our church home? We need help with day-to-day maintenance both inside and outside our building. If you are interested in sharing your talents on occasion or on a regular basis, please contact us.
“God and my Girlfriends” is our women fellowship for all ages. This group gathers once a month for some awesome girlfriend time! A variety of activities are planned throughout the year including Bunko, movies, painting, concerts and crafts. Watch for upcoming events on our calendar.
Eve Circle is our Church Circle and is open to all women. This group generally meets monthly in the evenings and has a variety of spiritual programs throughout the year.
Twice a month we gather to make quilts for newborn infants at Unity Point St. Luke’s Hospital and for all our babies that are baptized at Wesley. All are welcome and no special sewing or quilting experience is necessary! Quilters meet at 6 p.m. in the double classroom on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month.
Throughout the year, Wesley Church provides a variety of small group Bible studies. We design our Bible studies to be short-term small group gatherings to deepen the words of Christ in a personal small group experience.

Meets Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. and Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. in the Education Wing. Overeaters Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who through shared experience, strength and hope, are recovering from compulsive overeating. We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. There are no dues or fees for members; we are self-supporting through our own contributions, neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations. Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive eating and compulsive food behaviors and to carry the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps of OA to those who still suffer.

Meets Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the Education Wing. Our personal situations may be different, but we share as equals because of what we have in common: our lives have been affected by another person’s drinking. Al-Anon is a mutual support group. We can find understanding and support when we share our common experience with each other. Some of us are here because a spouse or partner has struggled with alcoholism. For others, the problem drinker is a parent, child, or grandchild. Sometimes a brother, a sister, or some other friend or relative brings us to Al-Anon. Many of us have had more than one alcoholic family member or friend. Alcoholism has similar effects on us all, even though our relationships to the alcoholic may be different. Many newcomers are most interested in hearing about situations and relationships that are similar to their own. Over time, however, we come to understand that we can benefit from hearing how the Al-Anon principles worked in many different circumstances.
