Role of a Coach



To draw out what the Holy Spirit has put in



To help the church planter and their team be obedient to what God is saying to them



To seek to help the church planter be the most effective leader possible while helping make the church planting project as effective as possible

We believe God is already at work ahead of us in and around the church planter and that His wisdom is in His Body. The coach loves the church planter, believes in what God can do through them, and has hope for them, especially in times of discouragement (1 Corinthians 13:13).

COACH Model

We use the COACH model, developed by Keith Webb.

Connect: with the planter, with God, the dots
Outcome: determine the goal of the session
Awareness: use reflective dialogue that encourages discovery of new possibilities
Course: determine the action steps
Highlights: review main learning points and action steps
