We exist to develop high-capacity and high-character leaders
Birthed from the local church
Development has always been at the core of Waymaker.Church. Through the Internship Program, Residency Program, and other development environments, Waymaker.Church gives away wisdom, skill, and opportunity so generations will be impacted for the Kingdom of God. In 2017, our leadership felt God stir the idea to launch an institution that would expand our ability and capacity to develop current and future church leaders.
WMI’s Vision
Waymaker Institute exists to develop high-capacity and high-character leaders for the community, church, and nations.
We accomplish this through three development pillars.
- Education — challenging the mind
- Ministry Training — equipping the hands
- Spiritual Formation — transforming the heart.
Waymaker Institute’s Origin Story
What is Waymaker Institute?
What Waymaker Institute graduates are saying
Waymaker Institute has changed my view of ministry. It has prepared and equipped me to go after more within ministry than I would've ever thought possible.
The Waymaker Institute Internship has given me so many opportunities for growth and development unlike anywhere else. Being able to work with the Students Team has been life changing and has had such a huge impact on what I want to do for the rest of my life.
From the functions of a church staff to practicing spiritual disciplines, WMI has trained me in both knowledge and practice to deal with the harder parts of ministry that I had never learned in a classroom before. What started as my next step academically, has now become a milestone in my spiritual maturity.
