About The Hub

What is the Hub?

The Hub is a 25,000 square foot facility designed with and for teenagers to host the student ministry programs of the Wesleyan Church of Hamburg and to be the relational center of activity for teenagers in the Southtowns. Programming at The Hub will help teenagers grow and develop intellectually, physically, spiritually and relationally (based on Luke 2:52).

The four main areas are:

A Game Room and Café - half of the room is full of pool tables, ping pong tables, air hockey, foosball, bubble hockey, and PS3 and X Box 360 games to have fun with friends. The other half has cozy furniture, plasma screens, tables and chairs and a café so you can get a snack and a drink and hang our with your friends.

A Full-size Gymnasium - This huge gym will host all kinds of sports from pick-up games to tournaments.

A State of the Art Auditorium - This room is equipped with lights, sound and visual media that will knock your socks off! Rock to a concert, watch the big screens or listen to a challenging speaker with up to 500 of your friends.

What are the religious beliefs of the Wesleyan Church?

The Wesleyan Church is an evangelical, Protestant denomination. We offer the good news that faith in Jesus Christ makes possible a wonderful personal relationship with God, a holy life empowered by His Spirit for witness and service, and assurance of eternal life in heaven. Our name is in honor of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, whose emphasis on a life of faith, self-discipline, and perfect love was a great example of what it looks like to follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
