N.E.S.T.
At Wesley, a “NEST” is a small group of church friends where people can belong, be supported, and explore Christian faith and its implications for daily living. It's a place to share life, to collectively do good, and to grow together as members of the family of God.
For more info about Wesley NESTs, or for help in joining/building one, please contact Bill Broadrick (bill@concordwumc.org) or call the church office at 224-7413.

Making Wesley Your Church Home
Becoming a member If you are interested in learning about Wesley Church, the United Methodist Church, or church membership, please contact Rev. Cheryl Meachen (224-7413).
Baptism The United Methodist Church baptizes infants in preparation for becoming full members through later confirmation classes. If you want to have your baby baptized, please call the church office to set up a meeting with Rev. Meachen (224-7413). Adults and older youth who are joining Wesley are invited to be baptized as well.
Confirmation Our eight-week confirmation class offers youth a chance to explore their faith on a deeper level. Confirmation classes are for youth in Grade 7 or higher and usually begin in January.
Wedding Do you have a wedding coming up, but don't have a home church? We hope Wesley will feel like home to you. Please join us for Sunday worship, and if you feel a connection, speak to Rev. Meachen about your wedding. She will schedule pre-marital counseling and work with you to plan your big day.
