WayPoint Coaching Community is not your typical Christian leadership development network. Unlike most non-profit training organizations, we're not satisfied merely funneling leaders through a program or weekend conference. Our aim is to provide our members with a place to really belong ~ to be authentically seen and known ~ and be challenged to grow both spiritually and professionally with others who are on the same path. And all this in an atmosphere of grace and authenticity. Our bold goal is to create and inspire real, transformational community among highly-skilled *transformational workers.
*How We Define "Transformational Worker":
A highly-surrendered Christ follower who has both a passion for and a high degree of skill around producing authentic life transformation in the people they serve. Transformational workers may include life and leadership coaches, spiritual directors, counselors, social workers, teachers, 12-step recovery leaders, pastors, missionaries, artists, business leaders, people in public office, or some other position of influence. The foundational determinant about whether someone is a transformational worker is not their profession, but the focus and fruit of their lives: Are they passionate about and effective at transformational people development? |
To foster this authentic, Christ-centered community, that practices the art of transformation, each person invited to join WayPoint is placed in a tribe of four to six members. For the first 6 months, they are shepherded by trained WayPoint leaders who guide them to integrate WayPoint's values and co-create an authentic, Spirit-led community where they can share their story, find support in the challenges they face, and be courageously challenged to grow ~ both as a transformational worker, and a follower of Christ. After the initial first 6 months of being shepherded, members in the new tribe will fully take ownership of their own direction and work together to share facilitation and content.
But it doesn't stop there. This isn't community for community's sake; rather, our tribes are deeply intentional. They are unapologetically Kingdom-focused. Our desire isn't simply to connect coaches, spiritual directors, counselors, etc., but to unleash them ~ by providing them with a context for ongoing training and development in transformational work, and calling them toward greater and greater levels of surrender to God, through which their unique identity and mission can be unleashed by God's power to impact the world in every-increasing ways.
