Wednesday night services can seem big and overwhelming, so we are here to help make Wesley seem a bit smaller!

Community groups are a place where students can go deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ and build more meaningful relationships with each other. A typical community group incorporates elements of fellowship, teaching, discussion, worship and prayer. We would love for you to be a part of our ministry. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

To join one of our groups contact David Hemingway at dphemingway@gmail.com or sign up here

Community Groups meet on Monday or Tuesday nights and last for 1 1/2 hours.

She felt like her life could be really good or really bad and it was affecting the way she viewed the Lord. During a service in April, the Wesley Director said that anyone struggling with fear should come forward to receive prayer. She was extremely scared just to go and get prayed for but the Lord provided strength for her. She received prayer from a staff member and was completely set free from fear! She felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders and she felt alive again!

It turned out that the courts were closed that night. They started talking with some employees at the front desk when a woman came hobbling up to the desk asking for medicine for extreme cramps in her legs. She said she went up to get a rebound, her legs cramped up and she fell to the ground. The employees were not able to give her anything but told her she could try walking it off. The boys asked if they could pray for her legs. She agreed, saying she would try anything at that moment. The boys prayed for about a minute, asking God to restore her leg muscles. They stopped praying when the woman started crying. They asked what was wrong and she said nothing was. She was completely healed! She thanked the boys for praying and walked back, without a limp, to the courts to continue playing basketball! Not only was it a testimony to the woman but, also to the employees and students watching while the boys were praying.

A student came to a healing prayer night with several scars from cutting. She said she didn’t want to come because she believed the lie that healing of scars wasn’t a good reason to come. She did come and God healed one of her scars!

WRIST HEALED
A student hurt her wrist playing softball in last May. She had surgery and tried several types of medicines. She feels called to be a musician, specifically a drummer, and had not been able to play in almost six months. She came to healing prayer night and was healed! No more pain! She finished the night off playing the drums for everyone as we all worshipped!
SHIN SPLINTS HEALED
A student came to healing prayer night with shin splints in her right leg and a possible stress fracture above her right ankle. Several healing prayer leaders were praying for the people coming and felt like God wanted to heal shin splints. So, a group of them prayed for her and then she ran up and down the hallway with no pain!
