We believe the greatest job in the world is being a pastor.
As pastors, we get to see God work in people’s lives from the front row. We help people experience life change as they begin to live for Christ with their whole heart.
Every week, we impact hurting, broken people with the love and grace of Christ. There is nothing greater than being a 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 have a profound impact on others around you.
Coaching helps you become more effective, in life and ministry. None of us can achieve our ultimate potential without the help of other people. Through coaching, we partner with pastors so you can accomplish more than you ever thought possible.
Let’s start today. And the first hour is free.
