Your Leadership Journey Matters.

WINGS: A Leadership Journey
Ministry leadership is a journey best taken with guidance and encouragement. WINGS—the Winston I. Nunes Growth Seminars—equips emerging church leaders with wisdom, community, and spiritual depth for the long run. Whether you’re stepping into ministry yourself or raising up the next generation, WINGS is here to help leaders grow and thrive.
Personal Coaching
Just like a personal trainer helps an athlete maximize performance, a coach helps you maximize your growth and ministry impact. Coaching creates a safe space to process, listen, and discern the next steps God is leading you toward. Your coach isn’t here to tell you what to do — they walk with you as a trusted thinking partner, helping you grow with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Elim credential holders receive 4 free coaching sessions each year.Ministry Mastermind
Ministry feels lighter when you don’t carry it alone. A Ministry Mastermind brings pastors and leaders together in collaborative Zoom groups to share ideas, tackle challenges, and discover solutions. Think of it as a mix between a roundtable, an accountability group, and a brainstorming session — all designed to help you grow and thrive in ministry.
