The Leaders

 

The leaders of Wesley are a diverse group of people who share the common goal of ensuring the health and growth of the church.  As part of preparing for the future, the Leaders have a vital role to play maintaining the vision and mission of the church. The leaders meet regularly, not only to receive reports on the various ministries that are being undertaken, but to consider the future work of the church too.
