WHO WE ARE
First Wesleyan Church is in Muskegon, Michigan, a small manufacturing city located on the eastern coast of Lake Michigan.
Muskegon has shown great grit as it has come through difficult years of high unemployment and the accompanying challenges.
In recent years, Muskegon’s economic situation has greatly improved, but not all the city’s residents have shared in the economic upturn.
First Wesleyan Church is located in the core city of Muskegon in the middle of a very diverse neighborhood.
The church is committed to the community where we’re located; committed to reaching the lost for Christ and seeing lives transformed; as well as being committed to a diverse framework for living life in community.
We work to do this in a way that participates in the work God is doing around us to reconcile people to Him through Christ even as we are working toward reconciliation with one another.
STUDENT MINISTRIES
FWC does not believe kids and teens are the church of tomorrow but the church of today.
