During the past sixty years our local church has had a rich history, known as First Wesleyan Church. This name represents passionate prayers and compassionate love as men and women have come to know Christ through the ministry of this church. Over the years the demographics have changed considerably in our community. None of the founding individuals or their families remain in the congregation. We honor these founders and their faith and legacy that they leave behind.

As we look to the future a new vision has unfolded and new people have claimed the passion for the future ministries of this church. New River Wesleyan is a product of renewed spiritual blessings that the congregation has experienced over the past few years. Although there has been a name change we still are committed to the local community and serve the same God whom the founding families believed in.

We're looking to the future with great anticipation, believing that He has something special for New River Wesleyan in fulfilling the Great Commission.

Missions Outreach to Guyana - New River Wesleyan Church supports the Wesleyan Bible College in Georgetown, Guyana, South America. Through financial support, onsite assistance and other means, NRWC is helping needy lives and a people who appreciate the little that we do.

Dr. Gray, senior pastor, along with a couple other persons from the church have ministered in Guyana and Dr. Marlon Hestick, the president of Wesleyan Bible College has held meetings at NRWC.

Over the past several years Dr. Gray has taught hundreds of students, held seminars, preached in churches, counseled individuals and families as well as conducted leadership training for corporate managers.

New River is committed to maintaining God's property as a "lighthouse" to the community. The landscape, painting and other important aspects of being a good witness is vital to reaching the world for Christ. We only have one opportunity to leave a good impression on those around us. Someone once said, "holy shoddy is still shoddy."

In 2010, we have set as a goal to complete several capital improvements on the property. Also we are praying for God to provide the needed finances to replace the 1998 Dodge van. This van has been a blessing in our ministry. It has transported hundreds of people to youth activites, Sunday School and Church, zone meetings, and other events.
