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.

Take the next step

Our desire is to see your ministry thrive. Connect with your us to learn how we can help you take the next step.

When we started Valley Brook it was important to me to be part of a movement of churches where I would build relationships with like-minded leaders. We have experienced the reality that we are better together as we've partnered with Converge Northeast leaders and Congregations to grow the kingdom of God.
