Meet CWC

Great Commandment.
Great Commission.
Great Collaboration.

Christ Wesleyan Church is a multi-ethnic, multicultural, and multi-generational church in Greensboro, NC, committed to building a diverse community that reflects the people of our city. Located in one of the most culturally rich areas of the Triad, we bring together individuals and families from different backgrounds, races, and walks of life. Our mission flows from what we call the “Three Greats”, The Great Commandment, The Great Commission, and the Great Collaboration. Be a part of loving others, following Jesus, and serving our city with unity and hope.

Great Commandment

Great Community is at the heart of our mission. We believe everyone needs a place to belong, to be seen, known, and loved. Through authentic relationships, small groups, and shared life, we live out Jesus’ command to love others well. Great Community is how we create space for connection across cultures and generations. It’s where you learn with others, grow together, and build the kind of church family that reflects the love of God in real ways.

Great Commission

Great Commission is the foundation of why we exist. As a church, we’re committed to helping people know what Jesus taught, why it matters, and how to follow Him with your whole life. We believe loving God means knowing Him deeply and helping others do the same. This is how we stay grounded in the gospel, grow in faith, and become people who live with meaning.

Matthew 18:16-20

Great Collaboration

Great Collaboration is where our faith becomes action. It’s how we serve others, build unity, and show the love of Christ to our city and the world. At Christ Wesleyan, we believe we’re stronger when we serve together across backgrounds, ages, and experiences. This is the visible expression of the gospel loving our neighbors through real service, shaped by our purpose and driven by unity.

John 17:20-23

Core Values

Intentional Prayer

We believe prayer is our foundation. Through intentional, Spirit-led prayer, we seek God's direction for our families, our community, and our world. Whether you're new to faith or have been praying for years, you'll find a welcoming space to grow deeper in your spiritual life with others who are learning to listen to God together.

Hospitality

From the parking lot to the coffee table, we want everyone who walks through our doors to feel seen and valued. Hospitality goes beyond a smile; it’s about creating a space where people from every background and belief can belong, ask questions, and explore faith without pressure.

Equipping and Sending Leaders

We believe every follower of Jesus is a leader in the making. We are committed to equipping people young and old to lead with wisdom, character, and faith. Whether you're leading in your home, your job, or the Church, we’ll help you grow and go where God calls you.

Disciple Making

We’re passionate about helping people follow Jesus in real, everyday ways. Disciple-making at Christ Wesleyan means learning, growing, and helping others do the same. From small groups to one-on-one mentoring, we focus on spiritual growth that transforms lives, homes, and neighborhoods.

Biblical Justice

We believe God cares deeply about justice, and we do too. That means addressing real issues like poverty, inequality, and injustice with grace and truth. We’re learning to live out the justice of Jesus by advocating for the vulnerable and standing with the oppressed, right here in our community.

Generosity

We live generously because God has been generous to us. Whether through financial giving, time, or talents, we believe everyone has something to offer. Generosity fuels our ministries, meets community needs, and helps us reach people across Greensboro and the world.

Loving Our Community

We love Greensboro, NC and we want our city to know it. Christ Wesleyan is committed to showing up for our neighbors in practical ways, especially families and individuals looking for hope and connection. Whether through service projects, outreach events, or simple acts of kindness, we want people to know they matter.

Local and Global Missions

We believe the mission starts at home but doesn’t stop there. Christ Wesleyan partners with local and global organizations to meet practical needs and share the hope of Jesus. From serving across Greensboro to supporting work around the world, we’re helping families and individuals take part in what God is doing everywhere.

Reconciliation

In a world divided by race, politics, and pain, we believe the Church should lead with healing. As a multiethnic, multicultural church in Greensboro, we’re committed to racial and relational reconciliation through honest conversation, shared worship, and life together.

What We Believe

The Bible is God’s holy Word. It uniquely and infallibly reveals God’s plan for His people and how to live out that plan, individually and corporately. Beliefs, practices, priorities, and our mission are to be anchored in clear biblical teachings.
Jesus Christ is the defining feature of God’s will and relationship with all humankind. In Christ is found both newness of life and the highest and clearest example for godliness. People made new in Christ find Him to be the source of faith, hope, and love in both the inner life and in our outward actions engaging a world desperate for hope and life.
Making disciples is a clear mandate from Christ. This requires a strong missional focus on evangelism and training in spiritual growth and holy living. Done effectively, this will produce and promote growth and health in and among the churches.
The denomination exists to help local congregations grow and multiply, be more healthy, and more authentically reflect God’s plan. Local churches are the most fundamental and strategic points of evangelism and discipleship. The challenge of the denomination is to keep finding the best ways to serve, strengthen, and multiply congregations.
Wesleyans respect leadership that is placed over them, while realizing that the authority and effectiveness of spiritual leadership is not primarily bestowed, but earned, and is characterized by a loving and willing heart of obedience that serves God and mankind gladly. Wesleyans desire to be leaders in serving.
There is intrinsic value in every person. Biblical unity becomes all the more important and beautiful in the light of the wide-ranging differences in personalities, cultures, races, languages, talents, and perspectives. Finding unity and mutual love in Christ eliminates devaluation and deprivation of life to one another
