There are various thoughts regarding the meaning of Protestant. A simplified definition of Protestant is—a member or follower of any of several denominations or nondenominational churches not adherent to the Catholic or Orthodox Church.  Protestant Christians typically affirm the Reformation doctrines of justification by faith and not through works, the priesthood of all believers, and the primacy of the Bible as the ultimate source in matters of faith and order. Some of the Protestant denominations represented at Wesleyan as identified by students include Baptist, Church of Christ, Congregational, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Nondenominational.

Other ministries you might consider are community service projects and service trips. There are many opportunities available through student groups and the Protestant Chaplain. See the Protestant Chaplain or a student leader for more details or send an e-mail describing your interest.
