Welcome to the archives of First Wesleyan Church. Here you will find some of the Church History, Classic Sermons and Services, photos and History of the Local Church. We are just beginning to build this page. As time allows we are planning to add some of the sermons from O.L. Ruth, J.A. Grout, Clyde Parker, James Denny, Aron Willis, John Vernon and some of the other Pastors that served at FWC. Please just back offen. If you have any old Sermons, Photos, News articles or other items send me a email.
Thanks FWC Webmaster.
