Join Us for Worship

John Wesley's sermons were written to be preached to many churches by the numerous "circuit riders" of his day. Join us for our current sermon series, Modern Day Wesley, where pastors Jabe and Katie will translate Wesley's timeless words into a sermon for today. We also encourage you to read the original sermon in John Wesley's own words each week with the link provided: John Wesley Justification by Faith
