About Us

Alva Wesleyan Church is an extension of a movement that started over 2000 years ago. We are a Christian fellowship based in Alva, Oklahoma, but we are truly a church for the communities, reaching out to neighboring communities in Northwest Oklahoma and Southern Kansas.

At the deepest level, this church loves people…all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds, just like Jesus did.

Our goal is to glorify the Father by showing His love in tangible ways.

Connect with God: We believe that all people have the right to experience a relationship with the Father.

Connect with People: We believe that all people are valued in God’s sight and that all people have a place of service in the Kingdom.
