The Marks of a Growing Church Member

WE ARE HERE TO EQUIP AND ENCOURAGE
YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY OF GROWTH.

Your membership and personal growth matter at Wesley. Our church recognizes that every person is on a unique spiritual journey, growing to be like Christ and developing as a part of the church. Where are you on this path to Christlikeness, and how can your membership at Wesley become more meaningful?

Whether you are just beginning to know God or have been an established part of our church family for years, we want to help you increase your engagement in church life.

Wesley has many opportunities and events for fellowship and community that will foster a deeper faith. Join in on Sunday services, special events, or attend an Explore Wesley class to learn about membership.

PLANTED

Learn about our beliefs, join the Wesley church family through baptism and membership, and begin your journey of growing and serving with us at Wesley Church at Frederica.

Your relationship with Jesus Christ is the reason our church exists. Our staff members are happy to meet with you to discuss any spiritual issues that you might have, answer your questions, and help you become a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Baptism is the initiation of an individual into God’s church and is a requirement for membership. Infants, children, and adults may be baptized by sprinkling, pouring, or immersion.

ROOTED IN FAITH

Like the canopy of live oaks that envelop our campus and community, growth is not possible without deep roots. At Wesley, this phase of your growth journey takes the shape of formally joining our faith family through membership and committing to a growth group. 

Becoming a member at Wesley Church at Frederica means you align with our statement of faith and join with other Christians in a sacred and holy commitment to live for God’s kingdom and follow His will. Joining the church enables you to fully participate in ministries of the church with your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.

Growth groups are small gatherings within our church family where individuals come together to deepen their faith, study Scripture, support one another on their spiritual journey, and grow closer to God and each other. Some of our church’s growth groups are co-ed, while others are gender-specific. They meet in a variety of settings, from Sunday school classes to evening gatherings on campus or in homes. No matter the format, growth groups provide a meaningful space to connect and grow in Christ.

This interactive class is designed to help you learn more about our church, our Methodist roots, and what it means to become part of our faith community.

Explore Wesley is a membership class offered three times each year, open to anyone curious about joining our church family or wanting to deepen their understanding of who we are. It’s also ideal for long-time attenders who want to reconnect with Wesley’s mission and vision. In this class, you’ll:
