First Time Visitor - (FAQ)

“Church Shoppers” are most welcome! It makes sense to find a congregation in which you “feel comfortable.” The members of Wesley Memorial hope that you will find such a feeling here, make this your church home, and live out your faith in this caring community.

Questions:

Most Important - We want your experience with Wesley Memorial to be an enjoyable, inviting and lasting one. We are here for you. We want to provide a church family that allows you to become closer to God and helps you live a Christ-filled life.

How can persons become Members?
By Confession of Faith—this process marks the initial entrance into membership in the Church, when one confesses faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  By Reaffirmation of Faith—renewing our confession of faith after a period of inactivity or not being on a church membership role.  Transfer of Membership—you may be joining from another United Methodist Church or a Christian church of another denomination.  We recognize baptism from all other Christian churches



Where is the Nursery? - It is on the first floor of the Education Building (follow breeze-way at front of church). As you enter the door you will be facing an elevator. The nursery is the second door on the right. The nursery opens at 9:45 a.m.

Where do I park? Park along Heyward Street or Queen Street. Both sides can be used and you should find ample space. Handicap spaces are directly in front of the sanctuary  on the Heyward Street side and on the west side on Queen Street. Will greeters or others be on hand to help me? Greeters will greet you when you enter, provide you with a worship program that tells everything that is happening in the service.

I don't know anyone! We want to get know you! We believe church is a place  of fellowship and friendship. Don't worry if this is your first time, we won't ask you to stand up and be recognized. Our folks will be talking before the service and after the morning service. Almost a guarantee - someone will speak to you. We want you to know us and vice versa.  Please sign a visitors' sheet that is placed in bulletin.

Where are the restrooms? On the first floor of the educational building. As you enter the door on the Heyward Street side they are on the right looking toward the elevator. Signs are placed to assist you.

Will I be expected to give money? No, many people give on one Sunday per month so if one gives or doesn't give  no one knows the difference.

How long will the service last? Our worship service will last approximately one hour. We are respectful of your time. The sermon will last 20 to 25 minutes. The service at Wesley Memorial is usually finished close to the  noon hour. On Communion Sunday's (first Sunday in the month) the service can be 10 min. longer. 

All are welcomed at Wesley Memorial UMC
