Leadership at Wesley is about service, about being a guide for others and helping them find their place. We follow a simple maxim: the leaders are the ones who lead. The leaders are the ones who serve.
The Wesley Leadership team is made up of students who are committed to serving others through the ministry of Wesley. The Team meets regularly to plan and implement activities that promote the vision and mission of Wesley.
As the Team organizes around its tasks, the individual teams leaders recruit and form larger teams made up of other students to help implement the work of Wesley. What that means simply is that anyone who would like to be involved in organizing events or implementing a ministry goal is certainly welcome! There's room for as many people who would like to help.
We've discovered that there is an interesting misconception about leadership. Sometimes we think that being a leader means that we tell other people what they need to do. Sometimes that's true, we suppose, especially in the larger culture. But we feel very strongly that in the Kingdom of God that Jesus proclaimed, its not like that at all. In fact, Jesus specifically taught that being a leader is not lording oneself over another; instead, it's about being a servant. When two of Jesus' disciples asked for special seats next to him in the Kingdom, Jesus replied to their request this way: "You know that the rulers of this world love to lord themselves over others and take the special seats...but it is not to be so among you. For whoever among you wishes to be great should be last and a servant of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and give himself for many."
