Coaches are specially trained individuals with experience to walk alongside you on your leadership path in a new worshiping community.

New Worshiping Community Coaches are pastors or leaders who have started new communities themselves–or helped others start them. They are not experts. But they can help you pay attention to what God is doing, become more intentional, foster space for discernment and strategy, make wise decisions, find courage to take risks, keep you on track, and take the steps God is calling you to take.

The cost of a coach is $1,500/year plus any expenses of a site visit. The typical coaching relationship consists of one site visit per year (touring the ministry context, meeting with leaders/core group/stakeholders/presbytery teams) and two half-hour to hour-long phone conversations per month.

We would love to get you connected with a coach. If you’d like to learn more about Coaching, visit the Presbyterian Mission Agency or contact Lindsay Armstrong at larmstrong@atlpcusa.org
