OUR MISSION

Igniting Transformers

Our mission is to ignite and train generations of revivalists and reformers to bring about a global movement of transformation (Ephesians 4:11-13, Matthew 28:18-20).

Founded in 1998 by C. Peter Wagner, WU reflects a new paradigm for unique training in practical ministry. Unlike traditional seminaries, WU focuses on equipping ‘in-service’ leaders with a creative, revelatory style of teaching and learning, as well as impartation and activation, with opportunity for hands-on, practical application and ministry.

It has been very remarkable to me that the teachings have actually been a blueprint personally and also for the church, in how we’re to proceed into the apostolic church that God calls us to in the New Testament.
Steve SorensonBachelor's Program
The course has actually literally changed our church. We had the five-fold ministry, but it gave direction and it gave names for things that we were already doing. It has not only impacted my life but also the life of our congregation and they are happy that I'm doing the course. There is something unique about this course that enables us to do it, it's favor.
Preethy KurianBachelor's Program
WU has literally changed our ministry and my life. It has brought me into a focus of my destiny… I see it almost as a snowball that just keeps rolling and getting bigger and bigger and the influence just going on…my life has changed, my family’s life has changed, and our church life has changed.
