WLI Mission

Wagner Leadership Institute is an international network of apostolic training centers established to equip the saints for Kingdom ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12). Our training places the highest priority on impartation and activation, mentoring and leadership development. Our goal is to equip and send the saints into the seven mountains that influence culture (religion, family, education, media, arts and entertainment, government and business) in order to establish the kingdom of God and transform nations.

WLI History and Model

Founded in 1998, WLI reflects a new paradigm and a unique approach to training for practical ministry. Students learn in a creative, revelatory atmosphere of teaching, impartation and activation. Leadership development courses assist students in developing their teaching and team leadership skills.

WLI has developed an apostolic training center model which is replicated through WLI Regional Centers around the world. This apostolic educational network provides opportunities for peer-level networking, training and sharing resources between apostolic leaders. WLI Regional Centers develop their own distinct focus and give birth to their own network of leaders who look to them as their apostolic counsel. Our goal is to mature and expand these leaders to increase in their sphere of influence to transform their region.

WLI Faculty

WLI faculty are drawn from experienced and successful apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers (Eph. 4:11). These leaders have the ability to communicate the truths of God’s word, to articulate what the Spirit is currently saying to the church, to apply these insights to the contemporary world, and to cast a challenging vision for a future of social transformation. WLI faculty model and impart to students a character of holiness and humility, an activation of the gifts that God has given to each one, and a filling of the Holy Spirit that will provide the power for students to accomplish their call.

WLI Core Values

The Day of the Saints – WLI believes in the ministry of the saints, meaning every believer is called to do the work of God’s kingdom, whether in the church, workplace or other individual spheres of influence. There is no dividing line between the pulpit and pew – we are one in the Body of Christ.

Impartation & Activation – WLI training equips students with knowledge, revelation, and anointing to go forth in power. This impartation comes from God and flows through our seasoned faculty (mothers and fathers in the Kingdom), who minister to students out of their ascension gifts. As impartation occurs, we are dedicated to activating and releasing students in the flow of God’s anointing.

Maturity – Our goal is for all students to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, as demonstrated by the degree to which we express His character, power and love. We acknowledge that spiritual maturity and becoming more like Christ is a process. We seek to grow in a deeper, more intimate walk with the Lord, knowing we are perfected, transformed and matured in His presence.

Spirit of Excellence – Our desire is to glorify God in all we do by serving the Body of Christ with a Spirit of Kingdom excellence as we advance God’s Kingdom here on earth.
