COACHING=
A focused partnership dedicated to finding answers and gaining traction on personal and ministry goals. Coaching has a FORWARD FOCUS and draws God's agenda out of someone through a process of DISCOVERY and ACTIONABLE plans.
A COACH helps another person to find a way to get where they want to go. A coach helps individuals get moving and accomplish their goals through the art of focused listening, powerful questions and strategic insights.
Proverbs 20:5 supports our ND initiative..."the Purposes of a Person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out."

WHO IS COACHING FOR?
> ANYONE who works with people WILL benefit
> Prospective Coaches who want to help others understand how to turn dreams into action
> Ministry Leaders (Staff & Volunteer) who want to positively impact those they lead
