Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church is a historic Gothic Revival venue in the heart of Savannah, Georgia. The sanctuary sits on the second floor, with education spaces and Oliver Hall on Wayne Street. The church hosts concerts, choral and orchestral performances, and special events, alongside regular worship.

Note: Seating arrangements are pew-based in the sanctuary with side galleries mentioned in architectural histories. Public seating capacity varies by event, with published attendance figures historically around 399 to 614 depending on activity. For planning, treat the sanctuary as a standing option for pew seating and open galleries where applicable.
