Serve with us.
Wesley Memorial UMC is a service oriented congregation with opportunities for people to apply their spiritual gifts to show the love of Christ.
Youth MinistryUMYF (United Methodist Youth Fellowship) is an organization designed specifically for youth in the 7th - 12th grades. Currently they meet every other Sunday evening. At Wesley they are involved in Santa's Helpers, a mission project that provides toys to 500-750 children in Walker County that would not otherwise have a Christmas. They also attend UMARMY.
Confirmation in The United Methodist Church is a time of intentional preparation, leading to the first public profession of faith. During this time young persons "make firm" what has gone before: God's prevenient grace, baptism, the teaching and witness of parents and other persons of faith, the teachings and life together in the church, the student's own growing faith. Youth are invited to claim for themselves the name Christian and the name United Methodist. Confirmation is a significant step in the journey of faith.
J.U.M.M.P.

Every summer, Wesley Youth (9th - 12th grade) attend a week long United Methodist Action Reach-out Mission by Youth, or U.M. ARMY camp. During the week of spiritual development and service, youth spend a week repairing the homes of low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners in need, repairing roofs, building ramps, painting and being the hands and feet of Christ for those in need. |

S.O.A.R. (Senior Off And Running) is a group for Senior Adults. They meet the third Thursday of every month. This ministry provides a way for those members who are 55 and over to stay connected in meaningful ways to the church and community. Various activities and mission projects are planned throughout the year.
Prayers and Squares is an interfaith outreach ministry that combines the gift of a hand-tied quilt with the gift of prayer for someone in need. They make prayer pillows that are given to Houston Methodist Hospital patients and make prayer quilts for members who are sick. The essence of this ministry is in the prayers offered for the recipient.
Age Level Ministry provides opportunities for growth in knowledge of our God, His son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. This is done in Sunday School Classes, special events for children (i.e. Vacation Bible School) and special studies offered during the year.
Family Ministries builds and strengthens unity of the church body by encouraging members to grow closer to one another and thus grow closer to God. From shared observances of Christian holidays, meals, celebrations and recognition of milestones to the comforting reassurance in times of bereavement, Family Ministries encourages God's people to relate to one another with care, concern and compassion as a true family.
Outreach Ministry includes the following projects throughout the year:
1. Santa's Helpers: an annual toy giveaway serving the families of the Good Shepherd Mission, annually giving away toys to between 500-750 children.
2. Journey Through Bethlehem: a weekend of bringing Bethlehem to life and allowing participants to visit the manger the first weekend of December in partnership with a number of other local churches.
3. Change the World Weekend: Wesley's annual mission weekend with mission opportunities for everyone.
4. 12-Step Groups: Wesley hosts a 12-step group meeting in Walker County, providing a space for people to fight their addictions.
5. Support for local ministries: Wesley collects monthly communion rail offering to benefit various mission and ministry projects and has an annual collection of items to benefit causes. We support the local organizations: Gibbs Pre-School, SAAFE House, Hospitality House, CASA, COME Center, and the Good Shepherd Mission
