BAPTISM
Are you interested in baptism for your baby, child, or teen? Or for yourself? Please contact Pastor Jeff Patterson.
Our Sunday Fun-day curriculum GO! Curriculum for preschool and elementary ages takes children chronologically through the entire Bible every year. Kids are in-sync with the church's liturgical calendar: this means when adults learn about baptism in church, kids do too! These teaching strategies get kids out of their seats and involved in the Bible storytelling action.

Wesley Memorial Kids: Children’s Ministry
Mission: To foster the growth of the love of Jesus in children and families.
Vision: Through personal prayer, biblical instruction, age-appropriate play, and community discipleship, the Children’s Ministry of Wesley Memorial Methodist Church aims to equip and encourage families as they nurture their children in the Christian faith. We aspire to foster the increase of the knowledge of and love for God’s Word in children and families; partner with the church in creating holy space for children to experience God’s presence; and involve children in Christian community and the life of the church so that their habits and hearts grow in the Way of Jesus.
SAFE CHURCH
We are committed to providing a nurturing, safe environment free from verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. All staff who regularly work with children, whether paid or volunteer, are carefully screened. They are required to attend Safe Church training, complete an application, have reference checks and background screening.
