This Week

A note from Pastor Wes Oden

Welcome. The Houghton Wesleyan Church exists to help people experience a deeper relationship with God. Through Sunday worship, small groups, ministries for children, youth, and adults, we want you to know and experience God's love in Jesus Christ in your everyday life. Our website includes information about the many opportunities for you to worship, learn, and serve.

We Need YOU to make our Church Family Album complete!
