Each year, we recruit SoulCare leaders to facilitate these Wesleyan small groups (WSGs). The SoulCare leadership program offers you an opportunity to:
- advance your skills in Christian leadership
- engage in the SPU community and invest in fellow students’ spiritual lives
- serve under the mentorship of a Seattle Pacific Seminary student
Because Wesleyan small groups embody a practice in Christian community, we are looking for SoulCare leaders who identify as Christian. If you have any questions about this requirement, please contact us at cbte@spu.edu.
