The Atlantic District of The Wesleyan Church is the only international district in the denomination. It encompasses the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the U.S. state of Maine.

On any given weekend, over 9,000 people gather in Atlantic District Wesleyan churches to worship our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. There are currently a total of 63 churches. They range in attendance from the teens to 1,700. Our oldest church, in Woodstock NB, came into being Nov. 3, 1888, and our youngest church plant, St. John's - Avalon, had its official public launch Sunday, October 19, 2008. We have a rich heritage that spans over 120 years. Still "under sail," Atlantic Wesleyans are taking the Good News of the Gospel to villages, towns, and cities within our district borders, and beyond. Pastors, missionaries, educators, administrators, and dedicated lay people serve in God's Kingdom around the world, yet trace their spiritual roots back to this district.

I invite you to take a moment to explore our website. You will find more detailed information on our history, churches, camping programs, educational institutions, denomination, and other links that will help you better understand the mission and ministry of The Atlantic District.

Serving with you,

Rev. David W. LeRoy
Atlantic District Superintendent
