A five-month experience for regional church leaders · 2027
LET THEM
OWN THE
NEXT STEP.
You can’t lead every church. But you can help the pastors and church leaders you serve think clearly, take ownership, and move toward meaningful action.
Regional Leadership: A Coach Approach brings people who support multiple churches together to learn an increasingly essential leadership skill.
With Brian Miller, PCC & Scott Gress, PCC · Additional regional-leadership contributors
Five conversations to experience a coach approach and learn with regional leaders who understand its value—and want to use it well in their own work.
You know the situation
YOU CARE. YOU ADVISE.
THEY STILL WAIT.
You answer a pastor’s call. You listen, identify options, offer wise counsel, and help clarify the situation. Then you leave the conversation wondering who will actually take the next step.
Regional leadership often comes with responsibility for the well-being of churches—but without direct authority over every decision those churches make.
There’s a place for teaching, directing, counseling, and advising. But there are also moments when the most helpful thing you can do is stop carrying the solution and help someone else own it.
A different leadership tool
ADD A COACH APPROACH TO THE WAY YOU LEAD.
Coaching is not the only tool regional leaders need. It may be the most helpful one you aren’t using enough.
As the pace of change increases, the ability to help people think clearly, discern, take responsibility, and act becomes increasingly valuable. A coach approach helps you develop leaders rather than become the answer to every problem.
The five-month experience

Five live gatherings designed around real regional-leadership challenges—not a professional coaching certification course.

An intentional investment
WHY ONLY $199?
Budgets are being squeezed while the demands on churches keep growing. Instead of investing thousands to develop just one or two people, you can invest in several regional leaders over the next five months.
We believe coaching may be the most helpful leadership tool you’re not using. It isn’t the only tool. But as the world changes faster and faster, leaders who can help others think, own decisions, and act will be increasingly valuable. These next five months may be especially important.
At Coach Approach Ministries, our vision is to “Express and Expand the Kingdom of God through coaching.” We care about the church. And we believe equipping regional leaders is a high-leverage way to serve it.
We aren’t offering this at $199 because it’s worth so little. We’re offering it because we believe the opportunity matters so much.
There is no requirement to purchase further CAM training. This experience is intended to be valuable and complete on its own.

Common questions
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU JOIN?
Who is this experience for?
People who support, oversee, equip, or develop leaders across multiple churches. Titles vary by denomination and organization. Women and men who serve in these roles are welcome.
Will we debate doctrinal differences or church governance?
No. We will focus on helping church leaders move from where they are to where they want to go, while leaving responsibility for decisions and actions with them. Participants apply the learning within their own contexts.
Does this make me a certified professional coach?
No. This is a practical leadership-development experience, not a coach certification course.
What if I miss a session?
Session recordings are planned to be available in the private Circle space for registered participants.
What if fewer than 10 people sign up?
If fewer than 10 paid participants enroll by the announced deadline, CAM will cancel the pilot and refund registration fees in full.
Can I register a team?
Yes. If you want to enroll five or more regional leaders, use the interest form to discuss group registration. The cost is $199 per named participant.
