Every leader needs a coach. Every leader is a coach.

Every leader needs a coach
Often ministry can be a lonely journey. Each day brings new challenges, such as managing church health and growth, leading staff and caring for your congregation—all while trying to move ministry forward and avoid burnout.

We believe every leader needs a coach. The significance of coaching runs consistently throughout the Bible. From the beginning of Creation, God designed us to be in relationship, and coaching flows out of these relationships. A coach can help develop healthy rhythms in your life and help you succeed by providing: 

  • Spiritual guidance
  • Emotional support and prayer
  • Accountability
  • Training and skill development 

Overcoming the obstacles that accompany ministry requires grit, tenacity, dependence and determination. Having a coach walk with you can make the difference.

Every leader is a coach
Leading a church requires great knowledge, character, vision and dependence on the Holy Spirit. There is always someone around you who has walked the path you’ve already been on. We all have experiences that can be shared to better other leaders.

We can help your church create a coaching culture by developing leadership pipelines through: 

  • Residencies
  • Internships
  • Teaching
  • Mentoring

As a coach you can help lead others to their next destination. Our prayer is that each leader will raise up other leaders to expand their reach.

Raising up local leaders
We intentionally meet our pastors where they are. Converge districts are working with local pastors and churches to create coaching networks. These networks bring a new level of accountability, while also creating coaching pathways to raise up new leaders. Whether you are stuck, flourishing, in a state of burnout or need help with a succession plan, our coaching networks will come alongside you to provide covering and personal care.

Connect with a coach

Connect with your district to learn how you can be teamed with a coach.

Converge knows the value strong churches add to people, communities and nations, and it shows through a commitment to strengthen churches by investing in leaders. Our church is much more effective in reaching people for Christ because we’re stronger spiritually, organizationally and relationally.
