Find clarity, encouragement, and forward movement
Helping you figure out what’s important, what’s stuck, and what’s next.
A coaching relationship offers focus, challenge, support and encouragement within the course of regular conversations. The purpose is to help you discover your answers for your context and move forward. Your part is to come to each session knowing what you need most to talk about and gain clarity on.
I offer what I call “content-rich” coaching. That is, within discussions focused on your agenda, I will occasionally step outside a pure coaching role into more of a spiritual director or consultant on issues of church planting, pastoring and surviving the rigors of ministry.
But in general, the role of the coach is to listen, and ask the questions that will help you identify the issues you most need to focus on, find clarity in and feel a sense of purposeful empowerment as you recognize that in the adventure of ministry, God is with you, and success is more about Him working something in your life through the rigors of leading than it is about many of the metrics we often think of in relation to “success.”
Planting or pastoring a church can be hard and it can be lonely. Often we feel like we need someone to walk beside us, and help us work through the leadership, pastoral and even spiritual knots that tend to get us tied up.
Coaching provides just that. A coach will come alongside you, helping you to clarify what areas you’d like to work on or need help thinking through and helping you define the action steps needed to move forward.
Coaching provides a listening ear, an encouraging voice and a safe place to talk through the challenges, questions and even joys of ministry. We’ll work together towards finding answers to the tough questions about your own personal spiritual health, boundaries and balance.
My goal is to build a relationship that not only encourages you in the adventure of ministry, but very much co-operates in what God is doing in your life, your church community and our world in general.

Equipping
Giving you and your team the tools they need
Some of the Workshops/Retreats I Offer
- The Journey of Formation
A day and a half-long workshop or retreat for which focuses on gaining an understanding of how God forms us, seeing the strengths He has given us, viewing the challenges in our individual and corporate life through the grid of formation and the skills God would like to build in us through those challenges.
- Moving Beyond Our Roles and Our Work to Our Deepest Identity
Especially good for Men's Retreat's, this time focuses on untangling our Identity from the roles we play (Father/Mother, Husband/Wife, Son/Daughter, etc) and the work we do vocationally.
- Church Plant Core Group Training
A day and a half-long workshop designed to equip your core team as they help you plant the church you are developing together. A great orientation to missional church planting.
- Elders/Lead Team Training
Coming out of the book Eldership and the Mission of God: Equipping Teams for Faithful Church Leadership, we have content and exercises for a one-day or one evening/one day intensive that helps Elder teams, especially those in new churches, get grounded in their work together, their relationships as a “community-within-a-community” and in all the myriad difficulties they will face or are facing together. The emphasis is on team health and mission-orientation.
Consulting
Assessments and Team Coaching
An intensive on-site visit over a number of days days, including a survey of the leadership and congregation, in-depth discussions with the elder/lead/pastoral team and a written report detailing impressions, feedback and suggested actions. This is followed by 3-6 months of coaching conversations with your team.
