Personal Narrative: My Leadership Experience As A Student Ministry

712 Words3 Pages

A big part of my leadership experience is my involvement in the student ministry at my church. I am in my second year of being a part of our Student Leadership Team which is lucky enough to have a big hand in the lives of many teens from multiple school districts. As an SLT member we are required to do: announcements, that are done at the start of every night; attend leadership meetings every other week, to talk about future events and our direction as a ministry; and teaching a lesson to the entire ministry, at least once a year. Being on this team has caused me to not only grow as a leader, but to also grow as a person in general. Leadership is now a very important part of my life, whether it is in a formal setting like leading a small group in …show more content…

However, with this club being religious, my fellow leaders and I ran into a small issue with administration as to the ability of hosting it during school hours. I was able to do research on the topic and come to an agreement with administration. Our club is completely student run because of state laws on the topic of religion in public schools, this opportunity also allows me and the other leaders to gain more experience with leadership as a whole. We are able to gain a new level of depth to our view of leading others because of the factor that it is completely reliant on us. One of the unique opportunities that I am given because of my spot on the student leadership team is the ability to teach a lesson to the entire ministry. I have done this once before, and I am currently preparing for my next lesson now, but the most important thing I’ve learned through doing this is that by leading others, and pouring into others lives, I am able to grow as

    Although I do not have a position in leadership yet, I believe that leadership does not only apply to large-scale events, but group work and responsibility in oneself's own actions as well. To me, leadership does not mean that someone can boss the entire group around, but to create a positive relationship with peers. Being able to build trust among your associates is the fundamental base of a relationship with the people that will be part of your life, which is also an essential part of leadership. I decided to join STEM, which allowed me to understand my potential with leadership. During group projects, we would make decisions together as a group, instead of separate individuals arguing over what to do.

    In the heart of inner-city Edmonton, there is a magnificent French Gothic Revival style parish, Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples, where Christ’s words and deeds are daily being enfleshed through the loving work of a collaborative team of lay and clerical Christians. Sacred Heart Church is an Oblate parish that serves the needs of Edmonton’s Indigenous community, as well as the needs of all Aboriginal people in Canada. As Father Susai Jesu, O.M.I.—the pastor of Sacred Heart Church—said recently to a group of fellow students from Newman Theological College and myself, “Sacred Heart Church is a national parish for all Indigenous peoples.” In 1911, Sacred Heart Parish, the precursor to Sacred Heart Church, was established as an offshoot of Immaculate Conception Church—which was initially founded in 1906 to help all new immigrants to Edmonton.
