A word from Mike Vincent a former Servant in Training:

As many of you know, God has worked many miracles in our lives over the past four years and has brought us out of complete brokenness and bondage. He has softened our hearts to others who struggle with addiction and the wounds of the past, and He is leading us to take a giant leap of faith into full-time ministry. In January of 2006 our friends, Pastor Larry McKenna and Nick Jefferson, started Waypoint Center..." Continued on Testimonials Page.

Extended Training

Servant Leadership Training (S.L.T.)
(50 Weeks)

This advanced training introduces a man to the concept of becoming a servant in Christ and provides an amplified look at the cost of discipleship. He learns the proper use of his spiritual gifts and how to facilitate small groups as he deepens his understanding of his call to ministry and mission.

S.L.T. is a one-year commitment for men who are called into the recovery ministry. It is an intense training period where only the highest caliber of character is permitted. This is a combination of intense studies, internship, and mentoring.

In S.L.T. the men go back through all the classes, however, this time assisting in the teaching and counseling of the men in the Regeneration Program. They work hand-in-hand with class counselors in an intern relationship where they learn first-hand how best to minister and develop positive and healthy confrontational skills. Thus, directly benefiting the men in the program. We have found that there is no substitute or limitation to this type of hands-on training.

The education and curriculum that is taught in the S.L.T. classes has been developed over forty-three years of working with men in addiction. Men have gone on from our training program to work around the world in recovery ministry.

New Start

New Start is the last phase of the 12-month program, and is required for graduation. New Start is a time to establish boundaries as a man is transitioning from living in a program to starting a new life outside of the program. During this period of time we train men to write a resume, interview for a job, and balance a checkbook. The man will be employed outside of Waypoint Center and be allowed to plan his own schedule for the first time during his program. A church home, outside meetings, accountability partners, and daily planning are all requirements
of New Start. This is the most critical time to be “plugged-in” to a healthy environment. The transitional New Start phase is $125 per week.
