Make 2025 your year for professional development through coaching!
Navigating change and pursuing growth in ministry can feel overwhelming, but the NOW District is here to help leaders and ministries find clarity and direction. See the Leadership Services and Coaching page for complete details.
Through personalized coaching programs, leaders are equipped with tools to thrive during critical moments of transition. The focus is simple yet powerful: helping leaders do their best work together. Instead of prescribing solutions, trained coaches ask insightful questions to help leaders identify creative solutions, set actionable goals, and maintain accountability. Whether you’re a pastor, Director of Christian Education (DCE), educational administrator, or early childhood director, there is a range of coaching opportunities to support leaders at every level.
For pastors and DCEs, free coaching is available through the Director of Ministry Leadership, who holds an International Coaching Federation (ICF) certification. This program emphasizes resilience, goal setting, and follow-through to help leaders focus on meaningful actions.
Educational administrators and early childhood directors can benefit from paid coaching with Jim Scriven, our Education Executive, who offers monthly sessions to help leaders build on their strengths and address growth areas.
Additionally, our partnership with Natural Church Development (NCD) supports churches in identifying and improving key areas of health and growth, such as empowering leadership, passionate spirituality, and loving relationships.
Beyond traditional coaching, the NOW District also offers specialized support through Church Wellness Network (formerly known as Consultation to Clergy) and LCEF. Church Wellness Network provides mediation services and mental health support for pastors and congregations, helping resolve conflicts and build healthier ministries. Meanwhile, LCEF’s Ministry Solutions guides churches in ministry transformation, offering strategic planning and expansion campaigns. These services reflect a commitment to empowering leaders and ministries to overcome challenges.
