The Reach Wesleyan Church

Welcome to The Reach Wesleyan Church! We’re glad you’re here!

Where we are located in Downeast Maine, there are two towns, Beals, the island, and Jonesport, the mainland. These fishing villages are separated by a body of water called the Moosabec Reach. It is our desire to love, help, and serve people on both sides of “The Reach” – and even beyond! We hold services with a mix of traditional and contemporary songs, Biblical preaching and teaching, and activities for all ages.

We look forward to worshiping with you!

Sunday Services 9:45am-12pm @ our Island location

Who We Are.


A bit about who we - The Reach Wesleyan Church is.

Our Mission

Reaching out with God’s love to all people.

Our Vision

To be the conduit for the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in Downeast Maine.  We are people who are serious about growing in Christ demonstrated by our discipleship, consistent praying and fasting, and bringing hope and help to our community.

Our Core Values

  • We believe that God reached down to us – this is Salvation.
  • We believe that we reach up to God – this is Worship & Discipleship.
  • We believe that we need to reach out to others – this is Service & Fellowship.

What we Believe

Faith in the Holy Trinity
We believe in the one living and true God, both holy and loving, eternal, unlimited in power, wisdom and goodness, the Creator and Preserver of all things. Within this unity there are three persons of one essential nature, power and eternity — the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The Father
We believe the Father is the Source of all that exists, whether of matter or spirit. With the Son and the Holy Spirit, He made man, male and female, in His image. By intention He relates to people as Father, thereby forever declaring His goodwill toward them. In love, He both seeks and receives penitent sinners.

The Son of God
We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, truly God and truly man. He died on the cross and was buried, to be a sacrifice both for original sin and for all human transgressions, and to reconcile us to God. Christ rose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven, and there intercedes for us at the Father’s right hand until He returns to judge all humanity at the last day.

The Reach Church History


Island Location

The Reach Wesleyan Church is the rebirth of two historical churches, the Beals Wesleyan Church and the Jonesport Wesleyan Church. Beginning in the 1890s, the Reformed Baptist denomination started the church on Beals and in 1912, the congregation in Jonepsort. Both churches have served their communities faithfully for over 100 years, going through many changes of pastors, people, and programs. In 1966, the Reformed Baptists merged with the Wesleyan Methodists.  Then another denominational merger in 1968 with the Pilgrim Holiness Church formed The Wesleyan Church – a holiness denomination with churches around the world.  In 2019, our two churches merged together and were rebirthed as “The Reach Wesleyan Church” in order to continue to serve our communities faithfully with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Culture and church may change over the years, but the message of salvation continues to be the same, providing forgiveness, help, and hope to those who accept it.
