Student Preaching at Wesley

The student preacher initiative at Wesley affords students an opportunity to integrate and practice what they are learning as a result of their studies at WTS, demonstrate their passion for ministry through preaching and worship leadership, and share their gifts with the WTS community. It also provides us another opportunity to honor the rich diversity of the Wesley community and of our worship traditions. 

Our hope is that selected students will experience the invitation to preach in chapel as affirmation of their vocational identity and value to the Wesley community.  And, we anticipate sermons that invite people of faith toward a richer witness of the gospel in church and society.

As you are beginning the application process, please take a look at the student preaching application guidelines.

Applications for Spring 2021 are available NOW!
