Why ministry coaching?

Research indicates that when combined with training, coaching yields significant gains in ministry skill, productivity and relationships.

What does a ministry coach do?

A ministry coach is not a mentor, consultant, or supervisor. Rather, a coach listens to discern, then asks questions to help the person being coached in these ways:

• Discern and obey God's will
• Discover and faithfully utilize in God's service spritual gifts, life experiences and other resources
• Clarify thinking, identify goals, stay on target and maintain balance
• Measure (and celebrate) forward progress and find solutions to problems
• Be affirmed and encouraged
• Be held accountable
