Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.

Matthew 28:19

The people of John Wesley Church are very active both in our community and beyond. We have sent international mission teams to Belize, Haiti, Mexico, Nicaragua, and our current focus countries, Kenya and Costa Rica. Nationally, our youth mission teams have served all around Texas with UM Army and the Texas Ramp Project. We participate in outreach projects in the greater Houston area and in numerous special mission events.

Our Missions Committee consists of a team leader and 21 team members. The Missions Committee meets monthly to review current and past projects and to plan for upcoming mission opportunities.
