Ministry Coaching

Coach (Mentor) + Coachee (Mentee)

Ministry coaching is a dynamic process where a coach (mentor) meets at least twice a month with a coachee (mentee) to foster spiritual growth and equip them to make disciples of Jesus Christ within their networks. The coach asks questions, listens, encourages, and equips the coachee to deepen their relationship with God, evangelize non-Christians, and disciple Christians. Every Christian is encouraged to receive ministry coaching and, over time, to invest in coaching three to five other Christians. This approach to disciple-making is both relational and structured—ensuring that one generation of Christians effectively equips and empowers the next.

The Purposes of Ministry Coaching

  1. Strengthen Your Relationship with God

  2. Strengthen Your Relationships with Others

  3. Introduce Non-Christians to God through Jesus Christ

  4. Coach Christians to Make Disciples of Jesus Christ

  5. Pray for Your Life and Ministry

The Goal of Ministry Coaching

The overarching goal of ministry coaching is to help Christians discuss, plan, and pray about how to advance Jesus’s Great Commission—to make disciples of all nations (Matt. 28:19). Through this process and by the grace of God, coachees will grow in their character and learn to evangelize and disciple those in their networks.
