Grow in Character, Faith, and Leadership

Personal Spiritual Coaching

Each member receives 1:1 spiritual coaching by the local chaplain. Through years of experience working with executives and with tools like Lumen’s “Business plan for the soul”, you’ll make tangible progress in your faith life.

Spiritual Knowledge

Through spiritual coaching, Leadership Circles, retreats, speakers, or content shared in the member portal, scripture, tradition, and Church doctrine is embedded in everything we do.

Speaker Series

Lumen hosts both national and local speakers featuring prominent faith, cultural and business leaders. National speakers are virtual and happen quarterly. Local speaker events happen 4-6 times per year and are in-person over a lunch or dinner.

Inclusive Networking

Many Lumen activities are limited to members, spouses, and member candidates. This offers an intimate environment to get to know fellow members in a genuine and approachable environment.

Leadership Circle

Leadership Circles are different than your typical mens group or bible study. Members meet monthly in a small group for fellowship, discuss and grow in Lumen’s core values, and provide counsel for any members facing challenges in their personal, professional, or spiritual life.

Annual Local Retreats

Each chapter puts on an annual retreat where members have a chance to step away and focus on their relationship with Christ.

Social Activities

From crawfish boils to whisky tastings and golf outings, there are countless social activities. They are typically planned by local members and are great to build relationships outside the confines of structured formal events.

National Summit

Every two years, the Lumen Institute hosts its national summit in a major city to bring its members and their spouses from across the nation together under one roof. With a mix of prominent speakers, learning opportunities, social activities and more, we grow closer together as a global community of Christian leaders seeking to illuminate society with the light of Christ.

Family

You’re a leader of your organization, but also the leader of your Domestic Church

It’s your responsibility to do all you can to bring your spouse, parents, children, and grandchildren into God’s kingdom. Lumen recognizes that call and helps its members fulfill it.

Benefits for Your Spouse & Family

Impact Your Local Community

Lumen Action

Our members’ have already made an impact in their professional lives and they use that same creativity to see where their local community is in need. Examples include teaming up with fellow members to serve the poor, teach virtuous business to the community, evangelization projects, and more.

Mentoring

Lumen is dedicated to help form the next generation of leaders. We do this through the Lumen Fellowship Program. It is directed toward working young professionals who own their own business or are in a position of management, as well as those who demonstrate significant leadership potential. Lumen members are paired with “fellows” to help them navigate their journey becoming a virtuous business leader.

Member Experience

In the seven years that I’ve belonged to Lumen, I’ve enjoyed so much of what Lumen has to offer. The monthly leadership circles and spiritual coaching are just the tip of the iceberg. Between the community, Lumen actions, speaker series, consecrated women retreats, Fellows program, and special events such as the biennial Lumen Summit, my entire family has been able to participate as well.

Spouse Experience

Lumen has been a family of faith and communal formation. It is a family of friends in a spirit of love, joy, and hope, and has enriched our lives. We are all pilgrims journeying together seeking the promise of eternal life.
