Base Camp: A free community dinner each week. Base Camp is a home-cooked meal is served every week. It’s a great place to meet neighbors and make new friends. And it’s free! The youth from the City Recreation program come for dinner at 5 pm and the doors are open for the whole community at 5:30 pm. Volunteers are always welcome to help cook, set tables, serve food, visit with our guests and to help clean-up after dinner. Volunteers are welcome to help for an hour or two or three!
Christian Education: Sunday School for children is at 10:15 am in the Education East Building. Children come into worship each week for a time with the Pastor and then return to their class for lessons and activities. Wesley has both paid staff and volunteers taking care of our children.
Food Pantry: Do you want to help hungry people? Come to the food pantry every Thursday morning from 9 am to noon to help distribute food. You can also help fill the grocery bags by donating food items to the pantry. Needs include canned fruit and vegetables, tuna, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, toilet paper and dry cereal.
Pink Cow Thrift Shop: Wesley runs the Pink Cow Thrift Shop as a ministry with our neighbors. The Pink Cow sells affordable needed items and so much more.

Volunteers are always needed!
