Coaching

There is no job on the planet greater than being a pastor.

But nobody can do ministry alone. That is where coaching can help.

Why We Exist

Moses had Joshua; Joshua had Caleb; Paul had Timothy. God never intended you to serve alone and that is where we come in. We partner with pastors so you can accomplish more than you ever thought possible.

Our coaching is custom-designed to help you improve wherever you are in ministry. We help you see areas where you can get better and recommend steps on how you can get there.

In addition, at forpastors.com, all of our coaching sessions are confidential. What is said in a coaching session stays in the coaching session.

How We Help

Our focus is you. We offer one-hour coaching sessions designed around you and your current life situation. Here are just some of the situations where you might find coaching helpful:

  • You are facing a big decision and want some counsel before deciding.
  • You are new to ministry and want to learn from an experienced pastor.
  • You are going through a tough season in ministry and want some encouragement.
  • You are doing great in ministry but want to work on areas of weakness.

Who We Serve

Our coaching is specifically geared toward pastors in senior leadership positions. Therefore, while all male pastors are eligible for our coaching, it is best suited for the following leadership roles:

  • Lead pastor
  • Senior pastor
  • Campus pastor

A Story

Do you remember the last time you flew?

My family and I flew to the Northwest in July 2019 to visit Seattle, Yellowstone, and Mount Rushmore. It was an amazing trip!

Every flight I’ve been on starts with the same boring announcement as a flight attendant instructs passengers what to do in an emergency.

I usually check out during the announcement because I’ve heard it so many times before:

In case of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, an oxygen mask will drop down before you. Simply place the mask over your nose and mouth and begin breathing. Make sure you have your mask on before you help others with their masks, including small children.

While the announcement is boring and monotonous, it carries a message for pastors:

You can’t take care of others unless you first take care of yourself.

Coaching helps you become more effective, in life and ministry. None of us can achieve our ultimate potential without the help of other people. And that is why we exist.

Let’s start today. And the first hour is free.
