The theme of Wheat Ridge Ministries’ 2008 National Symposium on Health and Hope is “Living Well! The Body Language of Faith.” Wheat Ridge expects this Symposium to provide a rare opportunity for leaders to be resourced and renewed in their ongoing work of being effective agents of health and hope within the diverse communities in which they live, work, play and pray.

Living Well Days for Professional Church Workers
Wheat Ridge Ministries is pleased to partner with other Lutheran organizations to offer “Living Well Days for Professional Church Workers” throughout the country. The idea for the Living Well Days grew out of shared needs from clergy and others that they needed a time and place to “just get away” for a day.
Seeds of Hope Events
The Seeds of Hope Awards recognize individuals whose outstanding service to health, hope and healing ministries exemplifies the Wheat Ridge mission of "seeding health and hope in the name of the healing Christ."
President's Circle Retreat
The President's Circle Retreat is an annual gathering of friends and donors who have made significant contributions to the seeding ministry of Wheat Ridge. The Retreat features spiritual devotions, self-reflection, visioning and special presentations unique to Wheat Ridge Ministries. The Retreat's purpose is to deepen the relationship between Wheat Ridge Ministries and those whose gifts make it possible for us to seed new ministries of health and hope in the name of the healing Christ.
Round Table Gatherings
The Round Table Gatherings involve leaders of organizations and congregations who have received major seed money grants from Wheat Ridge in recent years. The theme of these gatherings is “Developing and Sustaining New Ministries” and it is hoped that the individuals gathered through this facilitated process will be able to learn more about what it takes to develop a successful new ministry effort.
Wheat Ridge Ministries' Trip to Brazil
Wheat Ridge Ministries has a strong history of seeding new ministries in Brazil. A group of individuals had the chance to tour this beautiful part of the world with Wheat Ridge on a 10-day tour from March 25 - April 3, 2008. It gave them the opportunity to learn more about health and human care ministries in Brazil with a special focus on those that have been supported by Wheat Ridge. In addition to service opportunities with ministries in Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, the tour also visited the Iguassu Falls and the rainforests of the Amazon.
