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.

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