Spiritual direction

Spiritual direction is available through the Wesley Foundation for students, faculty, staff, and administrators. We provide opportunities for persons to discuss issues concerning their spirituality in a confidential setting.
If there are persons who would like to meet as a group to discuss issues of spirituality, we can facilitate this. There are some faith sharing groups already meeting and we are open to forming new ones.
Our capacity to sustain ourselves in the face of life's challenges, and to find both joy and meaning in the ups and downs and the everyday, seems to directly relate to the depth of faith developed in our hearts. The Wesley Foundation offers many opportunities for students to open themself up to God's transforming love, wherever you are on your path of spiritual and personal growth. If you:
• We seek to awaken - or deepen – a students faith in God
• We want you to understand yourself, and others, better, in the context of the Christian faith and God's love and grace
• We want students to relate Biblical teachings to your daily life, for guidance, comfort and understanding
• We want students to discover - and embrace - the gifts that God has given you, and the ministry to which God has called you...
.We encourge students to develop Spiritual Disciplines
Spiritual disciplines are helpful as a daily routine and can be used as a tool for continued spiritual growth. The congregation can provide encouragement, resource, and leadership in the carrying out of individual spiritual disciplines. The following are suggested disciplines that some have found to help persons along the journey:
Meditation: Meditation on a scripture passage can be helpful during a walk in the beauty of creation, or simply remembering how God has blessed one's life. Bible Study: Individual Bible study can keep the mind alert considering the great stories of the Bible as well as bring spiritual strength to get through the difficult days. Prayer: Daily prayer at a certain time and place each day can bring about a centering of life and can help a person know that he/she is not alone in facing the changing world. Journaling: Writing down thoughts, prayers, and activities can help in seeing where one has come from and what growth has taken place, and perhaps identify areas of the spiritual life that need more attention. Exercise: exercise becomes vital to health and mobility. Good Nutrition: The Foundation can serve as a model for encouraging good nutrition throughout its membership. Corporate Worship: All the other disciplines can feed into the corporate worship that takes place on Thursday night and make the worship an experience that integrates all of life.
