Coaching for Ministries

How do churches, both new and old, navigate the path toward effective community ministry?

For much of the evangelical world, outreach that is based in service to community needs is an art we must relearn. The emerging generation sees this approach as a non-negotiable and those who understand the postmodern world in which we ministry, view a relational approach that is rooted in an externally focused lifestyle as the church of the future. Coaching by ministry leaders who have both experience and skill in the twin worlds of ministry and community service can serve as invaluable guides that will spped our progress, equip new leaders and help ensure that service leads to fruitful ministry and transformation within the church and in the lives of those we serve.

• Equip Emerging Leaders—Community service that is truly connected to effective ministry requires a new kind of leader. The presence of “outreach or community leaders” represent the latest skill set that growing churches need for successful community transformation. These grow best with coaching that allows them to grow in the context of their service.
• Accelerate Your Process—The learning curve is often steep for churches that do not come with a tradition of community involvement. The development of new language, funding resources and integration with ministry outcomes can all be accelerated by effective coaching.
• Avoid Pitfalls—While no learning process is free of mistakes, there is no reason to continually re-invent the wheel when we can learn from seasoned leaders who can share their own lessons learned and foster a learning process.
• Increase Ministry Impact—integrating community service with ministry is not optional for churches that are committed to seeing the gospel transform lives through the vehicle of relational service. This is where the real outcomes of service test the skill of leaders and where seasoned guidance is critical.
• An Equipping Approach- Compassion by Design uses an equipping approach that is designed to raise up and support local leadership so that you do not become dependant upon outside consultants for essential work in your community ministry.
• The Small Group Advantagee- Each coaching group functions as a small learning group, multiplying the learning by shared experience, insight and fellowship of like minded ministry leaders.

  But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it?
