Become a Certified Leadership Coach

Church leaders are often frustrated. They don’t know how to engage volunteers. They don’t know build an effective team. They don’t know how to develop young leaders. They need training.

In the fall of 1989, God spoke very clearly to me. “Help the local church be effective.” Those weren’t His exact words. He was a little more blunt. I had been complaining to Him that the local church ought to be more effective. He said as clearly as I’ve ever heard Him, “Do something about it or shut up.” Shut up wasn’t really an option for me.

I certainly don’t have it all figured out, but I have put together a good solution for you to develop key leaders in your church. This may be you or a staff person or a key volunteer. There are three steps to this solution.

Topics covered include: core coaching skills, coaching conversation model, the biblical basis for coaching, and how students can use coaching in their ministries or workplace. This course is a prerequisite for all other Coach Approach courses.
