Pastoring and leading churches is a wonderful yet challenging assignment. While leaders often have to stand alone, they should never BE alone.
We’re here to help.
Personal Coaching
Coaching by email, phone, Zoom, or in-person / onsite.
Your first step: Contact us for a free 20 min consultation to assess your needs, decide on a coach, and propose a solution program (training, meetings, etc.).

- Other coaches (Jeff Wittmer, Glen Reed, etc): We have a number of experienced coaches available, all of whom are former pastors.
Cost per Session
Coaching on an individual basis is $200/session (and sometimes on a donation basis), so please contact us regarding your situation. Each session is about 55 minutes.
Other Coaching
Personal Coaching Package Program
If you order three sessions ($600), you get a fourth for free.
Custom Program
We can put together a custom program as needed. For example, if your need is to create a healthy culture in your church, here’s a possible three month program:
- Your coach would set up a custom program and get you oriented. The coach would meet with you by phone or Skype or Zoom twice a month.
- You would sign up for our Course Libray for $19/mo, giving you access to courses and training. Over three months, you would go through the Thriving Culture course of five video teachings and follow application steps,
- Total cost is $57 plus the coaching fee for six sessions (and you get one of those for free), so the total would be $1057.
- With access to the Course Library, you would be able to access over 250 hours of courses and MasterClasses.
On-site Coaching
- On-site coaching requires a daily fee of $1000-$1500 (depends on what’s being delivered), plus travel and expenses. We’ll work with you to create a program that’s right for you.
