Are You Called to Be a Ministry Coach?

A Ministry Coach is a volunteer or part-time minister who walks alongside others to help them grow spiritually, personally, and relationally. Ministry Coaches provide presence, guidance, and encouragement as people seek direction in their faith, relationships, calling, or life decisions.

These ordained coaches serve in a variety of settings—churches, community groups, schools, correctional facilities, workplaces, or even one-on-one mentorship. Wherever people need biblical encouragement and Spirit-led coaching, Ministry Coaches step in to listen, support, and equip.
