Pastors & Ministers Coaching

Coaching for Pastors & Ministers

Pastor to Pastor - A Comrade in the Trenches

"It is better to have a partner than go it alone..."
Ecclesiastes 4:9 The Message Bible

Hello, fellow pastor. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to check out this portion of our site. It is dedicated specifically to supporting you and your family.

I (Scott) invite you to take a moment and consider the following concerns that are inherent to many pastors.

Pleasing your congregation
Developing the vision God planted within you
Church growth
Church business and financial matters
Differences between staff members
Leadership concerns
Making time for your own needs
Making time for your family's needs
Criticism and complaints
Your personal finances
Personal expectations
Your own spiritual growth
Counseling issues that your church members bring to you

As your personal coach, I support you as a comrade in the trenches. I can provide you with strategies to help you navigate through your personal, as well as pastoral concerns. I have developed these strategies through years of working with pastors as well as through my own personal and pastoral experiences.

As your personal coach I can help you to...

Take exceptionally good care of yourself
Enhance all of your relationships
Deepen your own marital Intimacy
Manage criticism with style and grace
Enhance your personal growth and development
Increase your effectiveness as a leader/shepherd/teacher
Get the most from your pastoring experience
Experience limitless growth within your church body
Navigate through your successes and disappointments
Remove any performance and perfectionist tendencies
Deepen your own spiritual walk
Enhance your communication skills
Improve your one-on-one people skills
Improve conflict resolution skills
Explore your personal needs, values, and wants
Expand your vision and dreams
Support you in carrying out your goals
Know when to refer members to a counselor or coach
And more

Do you feel totally fulfilled within your ministry? If not, what would it take for you to get there? What is holding you back from being the dynamic, loving shepherd you were destined to be? What would your life and your church be like if you were living out the goals, vision and dream God has given you?

Give me a call and together we can work on creating and developing the life and ministry God has already birthed in you! Much of our coaching is done over the phone, so no matter where your church is located I can effectively serve you.

I invite you to take a look at a few of our assessments and see if coaching might fit your needs and/or the needs of your congregation.
Christian Satisfaction Assessment
Men's Fulfillment Assessment
Woman's Fulfillment Assessment
Personalized Self-Assessment
Coachability Index

We can also provide a wide range of services for your congregation such as products, retreats, workshops, seminars, individual or couples coaching and some useful and fun free resources.

Free month of coaching for pastors and their spouses
Every October we celebrate Pastor Appreciation Day by giving a free month of coaching to a very special pastor and his/her spouse. September 27 we will draw the name of a participating pastor. He/she and spouse will receive a month of coaching - that is three coaching sessions during the month of October.

In order to participate simply fill out the following form. Forms received throughout the year will be placed into the drawing. Please do not fill out the form on behalf of your pastor. Coaching is a personal process and it is our desire to respect everyone.

[Scott] knows how to walk with people down the winding, steep paths of life and ministry, challenging people to make wise choices toward health."
