Coaching Training 2011
Those who write about church planting commonly state that the leader of a Church Plant is one of the most important elements of a new church plant.
They provide the faith, vision and skills required to start a new church from scratch. Church planting is a difficult endeavor and requires leaders with determination and perseverance to see the plant mature into a church. The leaders will need high levels of support. They need the support of our whole movement. They need the support of the Ephesians 4 ministries of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher, ensuring that the right foundations are laid. They need to be listened to, be taken seriously, and allowed to make mistakes they can learn from. Someone needs to shepherd the shepherds and provide consistent friendship, support, counsel, prayer and help.
In our family of Churches, each new Church Plant has someone who coaches them - someone who is ‘shepherding leaders to glorify God’*.
It’s vital that our coaches receive good quality input and training to improve their skills and the quality of support we can give our Church Plants. We’ll be holding 3 training days to train every coach in the UK during May 2011 - they will be in London, Leeds and Cardiff.
If you’re a coach, a church planter, or someone who knows a coach - why not encourage them to invest in themselves - contact me by emailing .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to find out more.
