Get Involved

We believe that participation is greater than observation and that each person is needed to fulfill God’s mission. There are numerous ways to get involved, from volunteering in church events to participating in Bible study groups.


“As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” - Ephesians 4:16, NLT


Our Mission

Our mission at Wightman is to be disciples who make disciples.


The mission of our church has always been the same: to make disciples. To be a disciple means to accept Jesus’ call to “Follow me.” Disciples are to learn and live the ways of Jesus and day-by-day become more like him. Through our obedience to Jesus, we believe that He will use us to bring others into relationship with Him.

Our Values

We are committed to living out the Jesus’ mission to make disciples. We do this by loving God, loving others, and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. 

Matthew 22:37-39 & Matthew 28:18-20
Be Great

A great church is committed to both the Greatest Commandments (Matthew 22:37-39) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).

Matthew 22:38-39
Love God

Jesus was asked “Which is the greatest commandment?” His response, “’ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” Our first task as disciples is to love God.

Matthew 22:39
Love Others

After giving the greatest commandment, Jesus continues to say, “And the second [greatest commandment] is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Disciples love God and love others.

Matthew 28:16-20
Go Share

As a result of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, he said this, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Through our words and deeds, we share the good news that Jesus Christ is Lord with everyone we meet!

What We Believe

We are part of the Global Methodist Church movement. What we believe is rooted in Scripture, the Old and New Testaments, and professed in the Creeds of the Church (Apostles’ & Nicene Creed). Below you’ll find more information of what we believe.

  • God

    We believe in one true, living, and holy God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. God is infinite in power, wisdom, justice, goodness, and love. This God reveals himself to be Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - distinct but inseparable, eternally one in essence and power.



  • Jesus

    We believe in Jesus Christ, both fully God and fully human. He is the eternal Son of God and became human to redeem and reconcile the world to God through His life, death, and resurrection (John 1:14; Colossians 1:19-20; Romans 5:8).

  • The Holy Spirit

    We believe the Holy Spirit proceeds from and is one in being with the Father and the Son. He convinces the world of sin and leads people to a faithful response to God. He comforts and sustains believers for holy living and service (John 14:26; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22-23).

  • Salvation

    We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It involves God’s preventing, justifying, and sanctifying grace in our lives to restore the fallen image of God within us (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9).


    “By grace we are saved through faith... not only from the guilt, but also from the power of sin.” John Wesley, Sermon 1, “Salvation by Faith”)


  • Sacraments

    We believe that sacraments are ordained and commanded by Christ. These are signs of grace through which God works in us to change us. We find two sacraments in Scripture - Sacrament and the Lord’s Supper.


    The Lord’s Supper is a sacrament of God’s salvation through Jesus’ death on the cross. When we participate in the Lord’s Supper, we receive God’s grace in a tangible, visible way that signifies a deeper inward grace at work (1 Corinthians 11:23-24).


    Baptism is a sacrament of grace, symbolizing our forgiveness, new birth, and initiation into the Christian faith. Through baptism, we are united with Christ in His death and resurrection, beginning a lifelong journey of discipleship. Whether for infants or believers, baptism is a sign of God’s covenant and a call to live in His love and holiness (Acts 2:38, Titus 3:5, Romans 6:4).

  • Scripture

    We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, revealing all that is necessary for salvation and the Christian life (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 119:105; Hebrews 4:12). It is made up of both the Old and New Testaments that demonstrate God’s creation of the world and its subsequent sin and fall. Then God’s redemption of the world through Jesus Christ and the birth of the Church to announce God’s new creation.


    “I want to know one thing—the way to heaven... God himself has condescended to teach the way... He hath written it down in a book. O give me that book!” - John Wesley


  • Mission

    We believe the Church is called to make disciples of Jesus Christ, serve others in love, and bear witness to the Kingdom of God in word and deed (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; Micah 6:8)


    “You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend and be spent in this work.”

    - John Wesley, Instructions to Preachers


    "I look upon all the world as my parish... that in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation."

    - John Wesley’s Journal, March 11, 1739
