Coaching

Coaching is an intentional relationship of accompaniment between a trained coach and client focused on growth and transformation. The coaching process utilizes powerful questioning, strategic listening, active reflection and goal setting to move you forward in ministry.

Partnering with a coach can help you discover new gifts, explore obstacles from different perspectives, recognize resources available, and identify your next most faithful step.

Coaching can be used for a myriad of opportunities, including but not limited to:

• Personal leadership growth
• Implementing learnings from continuing education
• Leading as head of staff, an associate pastor, deacon, program staff, council president, or committee chair.
• Skillful handling of staff or congregational conflict
• Council development
• Ministry Development in any specialized area – stewardship, faith formation, mission, outreach, worship, etc.
• Multiplying leaders & building ministry teams
• Developing habits and practices that sustain ministry
• Vocational discernment
