Our Mission
Our History:
The Wesley Academy of Music began as a mission idea by David Goins when he took the job as Director of Music and Worship at First United Methodist Church. It was his desire for the music programs of the church to have an external mission to aide in teaching the children of the community of the love of Christ through music. It was also the desire to allow for music to be a way for underserved children to equip themselves with tools they could use throughout their entire life. After several years of wishing and planning, opportunity for funding of this mission arose with a performance of the Broadway musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” as part of the church’s Summer Chautauqua Concert Series. The proceeds of the “Joseph” performances allowed for the Wesley Academy of Music to get off the ground and begin teaching students.
