The Wesleyan Methodist Church of Anoka, Minnesota, was organized with seventeen charter members on June 23, 1963, by Conference President Rev. Donald D. Calhoun. Soon after organizing, the present church structure was purchased from the Mount Olive Lutheran Church. The parsonage was constructed behind the church in 1965. Over the years, Anoka Wesleyan has presented Christ's unconditional love to the surrounding community through several ministries. Examples include reaching out to unchurched neighborhood teens and children as well as the short-term residents at the rehabilitation house across the street and providing a free meal on Wednesday nights. In 1993, the church celebrated their 40th anniversary. The Anoka church continues to reach out. Several members are involved in distributing Bibles across the Twin Cities and the world.
