The leadership opportunities are listed in this section, along with a brief description of each area. Please read through the description and responsibilities of the ministry areas.
Children's Ministry:
The Children's Ministry works with children who attend the after-school program at the Wray Homes Community Center. Leaders in this area will organize and facilitate events for the children including a Fall Festival, Christmas Party, Valentines Day Party, etc. Apart from the bigger events, you will attend the after school program once a week to play with the kids- our hope is to build trustworthy relationships with them and show them how loved they are. The children's ministry leaders will meet with the children's ministry intern bi-weekly to brainstorm and plan events.
Communications & Media:
The Communication & Media Ministry is the voice for the Wesley Foundation! They will advertise in creative ways on social media for Wesley's weekly events. This will include brainstorming and executing giveaways, weekly videos, weekly announcements, etc. They will help create the graphics for other ministry area's events (small groups, fellowship events, women's and men's ministry events, etc.) They will also advertise for yearly events such as the Ice Cream Social & Fall Fest.
Connect Ministry:
The Connect leaders will work alongisde our Connect interns in getting students more involed. This entails printing and passing out flyers on campus on Wednesdays, welcoming people into Magnolia, and running the Connect table on Wednesday nights. The Connect ministry also hosts weekly connect nights where the goal is to connect leaders within Wesley with one another. This ministry connects our campus with the body of Wesley and helps those coming into our services feel at home.
Fellowship:
Fellowship leaders will meet and plan fun monthly events such as skate nights, open mic nights, camping trips, etc. They also will work in planning special yearly events, such as the Ice Cream Social and Fall Fest. Fellowship leaders will work together with the Fellowship intern to host Hospitality each week after our Wesley service. This includes creating a welcoming environment and preparing food to serve. The goal of the Fellowship Ministry is to help foster community amongst the students at Wesley as well as being an avenue through which we can reach out to the Georgia College campus.
Freshley:
Freshley aims to share the love and good news of Jesus with incoming freshmen by welcoming and helping them adjust to life as a college student. The main goal of Freshley leaders is to create relationships with freshmen! Your responsibilities include a weekly service on Monday nights, as well as a couple of freshman-focused fellowship events. Your opportunities as a leader will range from discipleship to teaching to prayer to event planning, based off of where you see yourself in the ministry.
Georgia College Wesley Foundation Leadership Covenant:
Being a part of leadership in the Body of Christ is an honor and a privilege. Throughout Scripture God, through those in authority, have asked His leaders to follow certain conditions that will make them most effective in the opportunity He gives them. At Wesley, we are committed to living with moral and ethical values that are consistent with the Bible and the standards appropriate for the community we live in. We expect the students who lead at Wesley to live according to those values in response to God's call for His people to live righteously.
By accepting a leadership role at Wesley, I submit myself to the following covenant:
I will seek to know and serve the Lord as my first love.
I will be diligent in fulfilling all of the responsibilities entrusted to me. These include:
Regularly attend the Wesley Wednesday night serviceRegularly attend Leadership Prayer before the weekly serviceBeing faithful to attend weekly discipleship meetingsBeing actively involved in the ministry area in which I am given through prayer, time, and dedicationAttend Mandatory Leadership Training August 17th, 2019.
I will live a life of celibacy outside of the marriage covenant, and I will live above reproach and avoid even the appearance of immodesty in all my relationships. This includes purity in dating relationships and forbids sleeping over with the opposite sex.
I will live a life of sobriety. If under 21, I will adhere to the law and not drink at all. Realizing that my example could cause others to stumble, I will refrain from all drinking in public settings - bars, parties, etc. - in Milledgeville, and I will carefully consider the costs when choosing to partake of alcohol outside of Milledgeville.
I will be above reproach in the way that I both conduct myself and represent myself (and Wesley) through various social media outlets - Facebook, Snapchat, Text Messaging, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
I will zealously guard what I watch, read, and listen to so as to not grieve the Holy Spirit who makes me His temple.
With regard to all of the above, I will submit to those in authority over me (interns and directors) and make myself accountable to them, as unto the Lord, throughout the entirety of my time on Wesley Leadership.
I understand that I am making a commitment for the entire 2019-2020 school year.
Success! This form has been submitted.
