Ready to Take Your Ministry to the Next Level with Coaching?

by Ircel Harrison

“My ministry coach provided a buffet of encouragement to me at a time when I was faced with many first-time ministry decisions. I found his counsel helpful and insightful. At the end of every session, we reviewed my takeaways and each time I can say it was good that we had spent the time together.” --Rev. Paul Gunn, Senior Pastor, Tusculum Hills Baptist Church, Nashville, Tennessee

Summit Coach Training is designed both for those wishing to become ministry or leadership coaches and leaders seeking to maximize their effectiveness. As a coach, you can multiply your ministry and walk alongside others as they meet ministry challenges. Whatever your ministry may be, coaching skills can help you to move yourself and others to the next level. Coaching leaders take the long view of individual and church development rather than looking for quick wins. They invest in people and help them to fulfill their potential.

Introduction to Coaching is offered by Summit Coach Training to prepare leaders in congregations and denominations to empower others as well as to train those who wish to become professional coaches. The class is accredited by the International Coaching Federation, a top international coaching organization.

Participants will learn, as well as practice, basic skills in coaching based on the International Coaching Federation Core Competencies. Topics include ethical practices in coaching, developing a coaching presence, active listening, asking good questions, and cultivating client learning and growth.

The fall class will be offered on Tuesdays, September 12 to October 31, 2023 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm ET/3:00 to 5:00 pm CT.

Beth Kennett, PCC, and Ircel Harrison, ACC, the creators of Summit Coach Training, facilitate the course. In-class and out-of-class peer coaching will be provided as part of the learning experience.

The cost is $695. A deposit of $150 will hold your spot, and the remainder can be paid monthly.
