For Churches & Coordinators
Help us build the church program.
If your congregation has run a small-group program before (wellness, stewardship, marriage, recovery), you already know how this works. We're recruiting founding coordinators to help us shape the videos, the leader guide, and the recipe cards before we open it more widely.
Become a founding coordinator →- A free founding-coordinator kit: videos, leader guide, recipe cards, and discussion prompts.
- A plug-and-play 9-week schedule designed for a church small group or Sunday school class.
- An optional shared-meal format. Everyone brings a plant-forward dish each week.
- Light support on launch night and a small circle of other coordinators.
"I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth ... they shall be yours for food."Genesis 1:29
Stewardship, not shame
How the church track works
Each week follows the same nine steps as every WPU cohort, with an optional scripture reflection woven in. We don't preach. We just point at what works: eating mostly plants, in close community, with the people we love.

"At the end of ten days they were healthier and stronger than the youths who ate the king's food."Adapted from Daniel 1:15
Questions from pastors & coordinators
Is WPU a Christian program?
The church track is built for congregations. It frames wellness as stewardship of the body you've been given and draws on scripture, like the garden in Genesis 1:29 and Daniel 1, where Daniel and his friends ask for vegetables and water and look healthier after ten days. The core program is open to anyone, and people of any faith or none are welcome in a church-hosted cohort.
How is this different from the Daniel Plan?
Both are faith-friendly small-group programs. WPU is plant-forward: it builds the week around whole plants and helps people eat less meat at their own pace. It also centers a shared meal each week and runs for nine weeks.
Who leads it?
A volunteer coordinator from your church. If your congregation has run a small-group study before, you already have the people who can do this. The leader guide walks through each session.
What does it cost the church?
Nothing during the founding period. Long term, church-hosted classes stay free or donation-based, and coordinator kits stay free for partner churches.
