PHOTO SHOOT

As a gift, we hired a professional photographer to provide you with a headshot for ministry use. Please plan to arrive camera-ready on Tuesday morning, February 4! It is recommended to wear solids or at least not something too busy. Please note that we are on a very tight time frame for taking individual photos of the entire cohort. As such, it is important that you come fully ready, arrive on time, and wait with your community group. Your group will take individual photos and one group shot with your entire community group.

UNDERSTANDING THE PLAN

Each community group has a specific schedule. Your community group schedule is listed in the drop-down menu below.

If you have any questions or needs, please visit the "Got Questions" page or find one of our team members. We are happy to serve and assist you.

At the bottom of this page, you will find a description of the five basic elements of the afternoon rotation schedules. You will stay with your community group and rotate into these areas on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Your attention to time is important and greatly appreciated. To keep things simple, the rotations are the same for both days.

If you need to step away at any time during the rotations, let your coach know and keep in communication with your coach. We recommend pushing through but recognize the Lord may be doing something you need to process. The property has beautiful grounds for you to rest and pray. Please be sensitive to your group if you reenter during a session.

LEADERSHIP CONVERSATIONS

Leadership conversations are part of the Tuesday afternoon rotations. Our facilitators, Julie Baez and Carly Jameson, host an open discussion focused on implementing ministry principles learned in the WIML Cohort into your real-life leadership situations.

Lori Edes will assist with some of the Spanish conversations.

COACHES CORNER

Join your coach and community group on Wednesday afternoon for a very special ministry moment. Your coach will lead this session, sharing her heart for you moving forward. This time is as unique as each community group and coach! We have discovered that this session serves to seal some of the work the Lord is doing in and through you.

CALLING STATEMENTS

Before arriving at the Summit, you should have completed or nearly completed your calling statement. The activities in this session are two-fold. The primary goal of this session is to provide an opportunity for each participant to present their calling statement to someone who has not been in the process. Each participant in your community group will have a personal session with your coach and one of our “Calling Statement” coaches.

While these conversations happen, the rest of the community group will participate in a discussion at the creative station. Art supplies are available for those who want to “talk and create.” The table discussion will focus on your values and calling statements.

This session is off-site at a local coffee shop owned and operated by our host church. Free time is scheduled just before to allow ample time to arrive at the coffee shop on time. We will have treats for you in the private room we rented for your session. But, if you want to buy a coffee or a different treat, please arrive a little early.

Calling statements are declared publicly in our closing session on Wednesday evening.

Our lead coaches, Sarah Miller and Sarah Griffiths, lead these sessions.

MENTAL HEALTH TRIAGE

Facilitated by Katie Gale, in partnership with Heather Adriaanse and each community group’s coach, this session will equip participants with essential skills to assess and respond to mental health needs within their ministry and leadership scope. We will explore strategies for identifying signs of distress, setting healthy boundaries, and providing appropriate support while maintaining personal well-being. The session will offer practical tools for guiding others toward mental and spiritual wellness and resources for professional referrals, self-care practices, and support. Each day will include a time of teaching and review, personal reflection, and group sharing, with a practicum on spiritual warfare and an opportunity for hands-on engagement to address individual needs and emotional burdens within community groups. This session fosters a compassionate approach to mental health triage, empowering individuals to serve effectively while recognizing their own limits and responsibilities in supporting others.

COUNSELING

In-person counseling appointments are available during your free time. Please visit the counseling page for more details and to make a reservation. Spaces are limited, and we cannot provide counseling appointments for every person. As such, please make your reservation as soon as possible.

Please note that counseling appointments are scheduled after the Mental Health Triage. If, for any reason, that session went overtime, you need to step out if you have a confirmed counseling appointment.
