Coaching

Helping Leaders Thrive in Ministry

Our Coaching Network exists to support clergy, ministry leaders, and congregations as they discern, grow, and lead in alignment with God’s call. Coaching is a collaborative, faith-centered process designed to help you reflect, clarify goals, and take faithful next steps in your personal leadership, team dynamics, or congregational mission.

What Coaching Is

Coaching is a purposeful conversation that inspires you to create your best life as a pastor or ministry leader. Unlike mentoring or consulting, coaching doesn’t provide ready-made answers or a one-size-fits-all program. Instead, it helps you:

  • Explore challenges and opportunities in ministry
  • Discover your own insights and solutions
  • Stay focused and accountable as you implement action steps
  • Align your leadership with your calling, values, and the Spirit of God

What Coaching Is Not

  • Counseling or therapy
  • Mentoring
  • Giving advice or imposing a program

Coaching gives you space to reflect, discern, and act, enabling real transformation from within.

Areas of Focus

  • Pastoral Leadership - enhancing leadership skills, balancing spiritual and administrative responsibilities, and strengthening ministry impact
  • Team Leadership - helping develop communication, teamwork, and conflict-resolution skills
  • Transformational Leadership - cultivating visionary, innovative, and adaptive leadership for lasting impact
  • Missional Coaching - identifying gifts, developing strategies, and guiding churches toward faithful engagement

How to Engage with the Coaching Network

  • There are three ways  for you to work with our coaches:
    1. Personal Coaching - for individual pastors or ministry leaders focusing on leadership goals or personal growth
    2. Team Coaching - for leadership teams or congregations addressing collaborative goals, strategic initiatives, or ministry development
    3. Coach Training - for those who want to learn coaching skills to serve their own ministry teams or the broader Conference.

Benefits of Coaching

Through coach, you can:

  • Clarify mission and calling
  • Identify core values and resources to activate your potential
  • Develop adaptive leadership skills
  • Close the gap between where you are and where God is calling you
  • Align your leadership with the Conference vision to grow spiritual transformational leaders and equip vital congregations
