The parsonage lasted well and was used extensively as a parsonage, and a fellowship hall. Due to its extensive use, time, wear and tear took its toll on the parsonage. In 1984, the parsonage was completely renovated and brought up to conference standards.
In 1994, the Building/Renovation Program was revamped. Members were placed in family groups and began reporting to their designated family captains who in turn reported to the Finance Committee. The new pledge year started in November, 1995. Families were encouraged to start their new pledges. An architect gave of his time to render advice and costs for the construction of a new church building.
Aside from assisting its own members in times of need, Wesley is forever rendering to its sisters and brothers in 
the community today.

Under the Old Georgia Conference. Wesley Chapel was host to three (3) Annual Conferences - 1909, 1927 and 1936.
During 1999, Wesley Chapel was blessed to purchase 10 acres of land, on Racetrack Road, for the construction of a new church facility. Also a new church van was purchased to enhance our Outreach Ministry.
In May, 2001 a building pledge program was implemented and the architectural plans for the new facility were completed.
The Order of Service was changed to include both a traditional and praise Worship Service. In February, 2002 the construction loan was approved and the Planning and Zoning Board of Henry County approved the construction plans for the new facility.
From 1867 to this present day and time, God has blessed Wesley Chapel in ways too numerous to mention. Without God, nothing is impossible. We give God the THANKS and the PRAISE from whence he has brought us. We will continue to hold to His hand, so that we will be able to face the future boldly.
This newly purchased property was the site where the church now stands. The boundaries of the property, listed in the Record Books at the Office of Henry County Recorders Office are as follows:
“Two acres of land more less lying near to and south of the town of McDonough - 1/2 mile from the public square and between Griffin and Forsyth Streets, bordered on the north by a fence dividing it from other lands of J.B. Nolan; east by Forsyth Street or Road; South by land of J.E. Black, and divided from the same by an old road running from Forsyth Street in a Southwest direction into Griffin Street, and West by the Griffin Street or Road with all rights.” - Recorded June 13, 1873 by B. N. McKnight, Henry County –
The original name of Wesley Chapel was Kent Chapel Methodist Church in honor of Brother C. A. Kent, one of the founding fathers, who went on to become Kent Chapel’s first official pastor. It was under his ministry that the Church acquired the present property site from Quinces R. Nolan.
The original structure built on this site was destroyed by a storm, and a second structure was started shortly thereafter. Upon completion of the second structure, a new name came with the newness of the building. Due to the impact of the Founder of Methodism and his travels through Georgia some one hundred years before there was a Kent Chapel, the officials changed the name of the church from Kent Chapel Methodist Church to John Wesley Methodist Church.
In 1992, Wesley Chapel launched a Building Fund Program. Plans were then generated to motivate the congregation and to bring in the necessary funds to build an adequate facility for the Wesley Chapel of the future.
