Nurture

What is the Nurture Ministry?

Deepening the spiritual life of our members is at the heart of Wesley’s nurture ministries. These ministries provide the encouragement and nourishment each of us needs to grow in faith and to serve our nurture area. Nurture includes small group studies, prayer bands and lay visitation ministries which facilitate opportunities to grow in Christ by caring for and supporting one another through Bible study, small groups, prayer and visitation.
