Expressing and Expanding the Kingdom of God through Coaching
Like many before you, God has been bringing people to you for years – people seeking direction, in need of encouragement, or sometimes just asking for advice. You knew you were called to help, but you didn’t have a name for it.
Now you do: “Coaching“
Our Christian coach training programs give you the skills to expand your calling and natural gifts, equipping you to transform lives.
Great coaching requires three key elements:
Just because you think
you can coach doesn't
mean you actually have
what it takes.
You have to develop
the skills.
Having the skills isn't
enough on it's own.
You will have to learn to trust
the coaching process.
You have to know you
have what it takes.
The people you coach
need you to help them
move forward, and
they'll be relying on you.
They have to know you
have what it takes.
When you earn the Certified Christian Leadership Coach (CCLC) designation from Coach Approach Ministries, you can have full confidence that you have the skills to coach in a way that is truly valuable and consistent with the best practices in the coaching industry, the principles of Christianity, and your own calling to transform lives.

Introduction: Walking into my first all-day Strategic Planning session as the coach of a vital county non-profit, I admit I was a little nervous.

Where should we focus our attention – on shoring up our weaknesses or on improving in areas where we are already strong? One of my favorite stories about the tension between focusing on strengths versus addressing weaknesses comes from the world of professional basketball.
