How can I have my class refunded or sponsored?

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.

Will I have to buy any books or supplies?

No. We will provide a participant guide designed specifically for your class. It will be physically or digitally delivered prior to beginning the Institute.

What type of content is taught?

Our emphasis is to make faith and work practical and actionable. Readings, class discussions and executive speakers include teaching and insights related to theology and spiritual formation, cultural discernment, and leadership development. Our content and practices are influenced by reformed, charismatic, and contemplative traditions, and participants of all denominations (and of no denomination) have felt at home in this experience.

What is the ideal Institute candidate?

For both WMI experiences, the ideal candidate is hungry to grow spiritually and professionally, values purposeful work, are passionate about making an impact on people with their work, and are willing to wrestle with theological concepts and practical ideas.

For WMI – Senior Leaders the ideal candidate exemplifies these traits and is also at a place in their career and leadership journey where they are or will be taking on a significant leadership responsibility.

Where should I be in my faith journey before applying?

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.
