Planter Coaching

No church planter should plant alone. We believe every planter deserves a great coach on their planting journey. 

Church planting is a lonely endeavor. We're here to provide the relationships and connectivity that make ministry sustainable. That's where coaching comes in. Great coaches come alongside planters and their spouses to provide support.

The greatest need for a church planter is not information, but application. The goal of coaching is to draw out of the planter what the Spirit of God is doing in and through them. They do this by encouraging them in the gospel and helping them to apply Godly principles and consistent strategies that fit their gifts as a leader and planting context. 

Coaching for our planters begins as they engage in a six-month planter training cohort. This bi-weekly experience continues throughout the first two years of their planting journey.
