Chesapeake District

Welcome to the Chesapeake District of The Wesleyan Church! The Chesapeake District encompasses the states of Maryland, Delaware, a northern portion of Virginia and the District of Columbia. Sixty Wesleyan churches are located within the borders of these states and on any given Sunday nearly 13,000 people will attend church at one of our locations. We exist to create and empower local churches to reach their communities for Jesus Christ. Our vision is to see 20,000 new disciples and 20,000 in primary worship by 2020.

The Wesleyan Church is an evangelical, Protestant denomination. Our churches offer the good news that faith in Jesus Christ makes possible a wonderful personal relationship with God, a holy life empowered by His Holy Spirit for service, and assurance of eternal life in heaven. Our ministries emphasize practical Bible teaching, uplifting worship, and special programs to meet a variety of life needs. Thank you for taking time to explore, to learn, and to pray about how you can be involved. You are invited to join this team!
