Welcome to Moncton Wesleyan!

We are so expectant for what God is going to do in our gathering this Sunday! This week we will be starting our Christmas series, “Unboxed”.

Watch previous sermons online here!


We will be collecting items for our Annual Christmas Stockings to help those in need in our city. To see a list of what to donate, please visit the Because Love bin in the Atrium. If you would like to help out, we will be assembling the stockings together on Tuesday, Dec 17th and Friday, Dec 20th at 6:30 pm in the After Café, and handing out the stockings on Saturday, Dec 21st. To help in distributing the stockings, please visit at mw.church/donations and we’ll contact you with more details.

Christmas Cafe is an evening of special music, delicious desserts, good coffee and great friends.  A soothing, relaxed atmosphere is what we’re offering this year where you will be served at your table while you enjoy various special musical numbers.  Bring a friend, and join us for this Adult Christmas event held on Friday, December 13th at 7 pm in the Life Centre. Tickets are selling fast, and will be sold for $5 at the Information Centre today and at reception through the week.

Young Adults! We will be having a Christmas Potluck this Sunday after the service upstairs in the Family Centre. If you are between the ages of 19-29 and you like good food, and festive treats with friends, join us!

NEXT is happening on December 15th, after the service. It’s a casual meeting with our pastors and staff for newcomers to learn more about the church. Pizza, drinks and dessert are provided. Children are welcome. The event lasts for 45 minutes and is hosted upstairs in the Family Centre. Please register at mw.church/NEXT.

The Bible says baptism is an important step after becoming a Christian. It is the public declaration of your faith in Jesus. On December 15th, we will be celebrating baptisms in the 10:30 worship gathering. To sign up, please visit mw.church/baptism.


We would love to pray for you. If you have a prayer request to share be sure to write it on the Connection Card today, we will send your request along to our pastors and prayer team. Our prayer team is also available on Sunday Morning at the front after the service.
