Spiritual Life

Home to Asbury Theological Seminary and Asbury University, the City of Wilmore has church congregations of many denominations, including United Methodist, Free Methodist (right across the road from Wesley Village), Southern Baptist, Presbyterian, and others, plus many additional options in the surrounding area. 

Wesley Village Residents can attend church at the Village in our auditorium at 2:30 PM every Sunday. The service is planned and led by Residents, with sermons by clergy and lay leaders who live here.

A weekly Resident-led Bible Study is held on Tuesdays at 10 am in the Craft Room, and additional weekly Bible Studies are held in Hahn Manor and Hager Manor for Healthcare Residents. 

Periodically, a special "Crescendo" service is held, started by Resident Rev. Harold Schmul and his team. At these services, Residents, family members and friends share their "God Moment" testimonies.

Village Chaplain Dr. Bill Moore (former senior pastor of both Southern Hills and Nicholasville UMC's) serves our residents in a multitude of ways, including hospital and rehab visitations, leading Manor Bible studies, helping with hymn-sings in Holloway Cottage and conducting both funeral and graveside services as needed. He is also a most popular speaker at our Sunday afternoon Worship Services especially when he brings his guitar!

"[Fellow Resident] Anne Griswold said to me, 'I'm so thankful that Wesley Village is a Christian community.' I got to thinking about that, and I thought - that is the special ingredient that pulls everything together, and makes it like a family. The wonderful staff are so friendly and involved, and the residents are caring, and kind, and gracious."
- Diana Zeigler, Resident
"It's a comfort to us that we're here. We have friends here that need help from us and from others, and when we get to that age, we expect to have others help us. We think it's a neat way to have a community - a Christian community."
- Chuck Campbell, Resident
"I was walking with a lady whose husband was in the hospital, and another resident came up to her and said: 'Oh, I was praying for you just now!' That was such a blessing, to know that people were praying for her and her husband, and they loved them and cared for them. Very unique and special."
- Colleen Stratton, Resident
