Our Commitment to our Community

 

Wesley at Texas Tech desires to be a Christ-like community that reflects God’s holiness. God’s redemptive story is about resurrecting old things into beautiful new life, found in Christ. As Staff and student leaders, we have been called to steward Wesley, its students, and its resources. We, as individuals and as a community, commit to one another to live according to the truth and love revealed in Scripture.

As the body of Wesley, we desire to be patient, kind, gentle, loving, joyful, peaceful, faithful, disciplined, and to share goodness. We are committed to speaking the truth in love. We do this by sharing one another’s burdens, bearing with one another’s weaknesses, seeking reconciliation, and serving one another. God wants us to live life to the fullest and desires for us to live in a way that is not of the world. Sin harms this desire and the direct result is not loving people and not loving God.

Our desire is to love God and to love people.

When we fall into the temptations of the world, we substitute our desires for God with other things. These substitutions can never satisfy our longing for God even if they seem like a quick solution to our problems. We find that these things, which are lesser than God’s desires, can have devastating impacts on both our lives and others.

We as the body of the Wesley, acknowledge that God is calling us out of: 

Misuse of drugs or controlled substances, pornography, stealing, speaking or writing profanity, gossip, slandering, relationship harm, harassing, abuse, acting dishonestly, cheating, sexual relations outside of marriage, cohabitation, underage drinking and/or drinking alcohol in excess, and any other ways that aren’t loving to self, others, and God.

God is calling us into a life that reflects hope, grace, community, and love.

When struggles occur with the things God is calling us out of, we as a body, will practice repentance, confession, pardon, and correction. If there is no desire or action towards the practices that God is calling us into, a conversation and possible consequences, including removal from leadership team, may occur.
