All formats of WMI are a 10-session experience.
You can anticipate dedicating 2-3 hours each week to the class: 1.5 hours of instruction and 1-2 hours of reading, devotionals, or exercises.
We will meet via Zoom or at a shared office space in NWA. Our Institute director, Darrel, will send all zoom links prior to the start of the cohort through calendar invites via email. Check out the individual class pages or reach out to find out if classes are happening in-person or online!
Pricing is coming soon.
We offer the opportunity for participants to have their company, company owner, or direct supervisor sponsor their institute costs. Please email Darrel Harvey at dharvey@workmatters.org for more details on the sponsorship process.
A digital Participant Guidebook will be provided for download but a physical guidebook can be purchased.
Our emphasis is to make faith and work practical and actionable. The content covered in the Institute works together to equip participants with a strong theology of work and the ability to abide in Christ in their work, at their work, and through their work. Our materials and practices are influenced by a variety of ancient and modern Christian traditions, and participants of all denominations (and of no denomination) have felt at home in this experience.
The ideal candidate is hungry to grow spiritually and professionally, values purposeful work, is passionate about making an impact on people with their work, and is willing to wrestle with theological concepts and practical ideas.
Each class has participants from a wide range of Christian traditions on a variety of points on their spiritual journey. What they have in common is an openness to live and lead like Jesus.
