Steps to Membership

As a professional community committed to authentic, Christ-centered relationship and transformational learning - it’s important to insure we're a good fit for everyone who comes into our tribes. For that reason, our membership grows at the pace of relationship and is by invitation. Here's our basic process:

1. We build relationship with potential members.

2. We receive and review nominations/interest forms. (To complete an interest form, see the button above)

3. If approved, we invite them to take WayPoint for a test drive by attending an Encounter Course.*

4. Then we formally extend a membership invitation.**

5. All new members will be placed in a tribe of 4-6 people, with an experienced veteran member to shepherd them for the first year.

See Ongoing Membership section for more details of what happens after you become a member.

What if we've never met?

There are “WayPoint People” all over the world; people compelled by the love of Christ to deliberately cultivate transformational conversations. How can we get to know each other? If this is you, here’s what you can do:

• Request a virtual coffee date with a member of our leadership team to ask any questions and share about yourself. Click here to email us.

• AND/OR If WayPoint seems like a good fit so far and you want to be considered for an Encounter Course, please fill out this membership interest form to help our leadership team get to know you a bit better and the work you do.

• Join WayPoint members in one of our free, online webinars. Checkout the next offering on our resource page for more info.

*The Encounter Course

The Encounter Course is a series of six conversations with a small cohort of other transformational workers interested in exploring membership. The 90-minute conversations, held by teleconference, happen over a period of 6-8 weeks, and are facilitated by one or two trained WayPoint leaders. It's a great way to experience what WayPoint tribe calls are like. In addition to getting to know other potential tribe members, each call will include training on some great transformational tools you can take and use right away within your own sphere of influence. The content alone will make the course well worth your time, even if you ultimately decide not to join. The course costs $165. We just completed a winter session of the Encounter Course. Dates for the next course have not been set yet.

**Invitation is to Membership

After the Encounter Course, membership will be discussed and all interested and approved candidates will be invited to join and placed into a tribe of 4-6 participants (with 2 veteran shepherds for the first year). Our new tribes will launch April 1, 2021. Membership fees for the remainder of 2021 will be $374.00. (Note: The full annual fee is $499 for 2021.)

Ongoing Membership

1. Membership is renewed annually

2. All tribes meet twice monthly for 90-minute teleconference calls.

3. All tribes are self facilitated (except brand new tribes). Members take turns bringing content and facilitating conversations, exercises, mastermind formats, etc. depending on their own skill set, interests and the interests of the tribe. (A small stipend is credited to the facilitator and may be applied to future membership or event fees, or may be reimbursed at the end of the year.)

4. New tribes will be facilitated by 1 or 2 veteran members for the first year. During the course of the year, new members will partner with the shepherd to take on more and more of the facilitation responsibilities as they get the gist of how it works.

5. All members are encouraged and generally expected to attend our Summit conference which takes place every other year. This is a fantastic time for our virtual community to gather face to face and enjoy a rich time of experiential learning and spiritual community. Our next Summit is this coming October 21-24, 2021 and will take place in Felton, CA in the Santa Cruz Mountains. (Conference fees will apply)
