Our House

Welcome to John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church! Whether you are here for the first time or visit periodically, you are most welcome. John Wesley Church is a Christian community called to perfect the saints for the work of the ministry, to edify the body of Christ, thereby fulfilling the great commission as mandated by the Lord Jesus Christ. While we are not a perfect church, we have been growing and developing the nature of God's Love, God's Grace, and God's Word for almost 100 years.

We invite you to worship, work, and share with our ministry. Request prayer, learn about our ministries, grow in Bible Study and Worship, and Give in response to God's goodness. You are now at home and we consider you family.

Our Pastor

Rev. Austin J. Young

Originally from Grand Rapids, MI, Pastor matriculated at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, and the University of Cape Town in Cape Town, South Africa for undergraduate studies in Urban Studies and Planning. Additionally, Pastor AJ as he is affectionately called is also a graduate of Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C. with a Masters of Divinity.

Pastor Young holds numerous positions in the community and within the denomination. Ecumenically, Rev.
