Every leader has questions. Every leader faces hard choices.
Where do children’s ministry leaders go when you have questions that you need to not only get answers to but, to help you contextualize and implement in your context?
Facebook groups? Webinars? Video courses? Those aren’t bad options, and I’ve used all of them. But is that really where you’ll find the best answers for you in your ministry context?
An experienced ministry coach can ask questions to clarify and dig deeper into what you’re really looking for. They won’t tell you how to do it, but they will help you find the answer that is right before you.
Coaching helps you move from:
Overwhelmed
Self-Doubting
Working Alone
Clear & Focused
Confident
Building healthy, lasting teams

What does a coaching package cost?
Each coaching package has a base rate, but we also want to work with leaders and their budgets. During a clarity call, we will go over each package and it’s benefits for you. After we determine the best package and length of time, the final cost will be determined. We can also prepare a personalized document so you can share with your leadership for approval if needed.
