Ever since men injured in New York City’s colonial era
Battle of Golden Hill were treated at the original Wesley Chapel
on John Street, sharing God's love through acts of kindness,
hospitality, and justice has been our congregation's highest
calling. In the 19th century, one of our members started
the city’s first homeless mission. In the 20th
century, we opened our doors to the Wall Street community during
World Wars and the Great Depression. And after the tragic
events of September 11, 2001, our congregation offered comfort
and hope to a wounded neighborhood and nation.
Today, we put our faith into action through
a variety of hands-on and financial ministries. We regularly send teams
of volunteers to the Bowery Mission and Habitat for Humanity
work sites. We also host events for community groups
with whom we share common goals—workers’ rights,
immigration reform, and environmental stewardship to name a
few. And every week our special mission offering program
invites us to lend prayerful and economic support to humanitarian
ministries around the world.
