Building & Empowering the South Phoenix Community
Wesley United Methodist Church, in partnership with Arizona Faith Network, has opened the Wesley Resiliency Center, a community-focused resiliency center program!
This center is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 am – 2 pm when visitors can access our outdoor shower, laundry facility, clothing closet, and food pantry. In addition, referrals onsite for housing service, substance abuse treatment, and other community programs will be available, along with access to free vaccines and basic medical screenings as scheduled. Please check out our calendar of events to note when there are specific offerings for services.
Wesley Resiliency Center programs are open to all, regardless of race, religion, gender identity, education, citizenship, Disability status, or any other potentially discriminating practice.
If you are interested in volunteering with the center, don’t hesitate to contact the church office to complete the volunteer application process. If you are interested in donating to the center, such as hygiene supplies, food, water, laundry supplies, clothing, etc., please contact the church to assess current needs and schedule a drop-off time.
Finally, if you are interested in partnering with the center to offer a resource/referral connection or other intentional partnership that builds and empowers the South Phoenix Community, please get in touch with Arizona Faith Network or the church office for follow-up.

This video, produced by the West Ohio Conference as part of a broader documentary on climate change in the desert Southwest, highlights the compassionate and sustainable ministry of Wesley UMC in Phoenix, Arizona. It tells the story of how our church served as a vital cooling center during the summer’s extreme heat, offering refuge, care, and resilience to our community. The video also celebrates the broader mission of building local sustainability in the face of a changing climate.
