Two 12-month coaching journeys — one for pastoral formation, one for leadership formation. Both built on the same rhythm of honest assessment, monthly coaching and written plans you keep.
Free to apply. You are only invited to enroll after a discovery session with your coach.
Comprehensive pastoral formation, leadership development and ministry strategy for emerging and founding pastors.
12 months · two 60-minute Zoom sessions each month
Leadership identity, competency, context and strategy — assessed honestly, coached monthly, and turned into written plans you can actually execute.
12 months · two 60-minute Zoom sessions each month
Twelve months of guided assessment, one-to-one coaching and structured planning that turns a sense of calling into a documented, measurable pastoral development path.
Every assessment, score, plan and report in the program is organised around these four.
Ministry and theological formation.
Theology, doctrine, pastoral competence, calling, ministry assignment.
Personal formation and leadership health.
Personal development, emotional intelligence, boundaries, ethics, accountability.
Professional and leadership development.
Leadership, teams, strategy, administration, organizational development.
Building the ministry God has actually assigned you to lead.
What the pastor is called to build, and the systems necessary to build it.
Create your account and complete the staged application — personal background, ministry context, calling and readiness.
Your coach reviews the application and invites you to book a Zoom discovery session to talk through fit and expectations.
After the session your coach issues a written invitation with your terms. Nothing is charged before you accept.
Accept the coaching agreement, start your monthly plan, and the full 12-month journey unlocks in your portal.
You sense a call to pastoral ministry and want a structured, coached process to test, clarify and prepare that calling before you step into leadership.
You have been ordained or licensed and now need the formation, systems and plan that complement your credential with real readiness.
You are launching a church, ministry or plant and need the model, structure, governance and systems defined before you scale.
You need an honest, documented readiness review rather than a letter of recommendation and a hope — including theology, ethics, pastoral function and character assessment.
You are leading an existing work through change and need a clear-eyed assessment, new rhythms and a written twelve-month plan.
You are stepping from support-staff or lay leadership into a senior, founding or lead pastoral role and want your character, competence and context evaluated before the weight arrives.
This program is not a shortcut to an ordination certificate. It is for leaders willing to be formed, assessed and coached through the developmental process. If you only need a credential without engaging the work, this is not the right fit.
We start with a comprehensive intake and a set of assessments across your calling, character, competence and context. This phase creates an honest picture of where you are now — your strengths, gaps and developmental priorities — so the rest of the journey is built on real data rather than assumptions.
Deliverable: Pastoral Development Profile, baseline domain scores and your top five developmental priorities.
Once the data is in, we shape your pastoral identity and ministry vision. You will craft a clear calling statement, core values, ministry philosophy and leadership philosophy so your decisions have an anchor.
Deliverable: Pastoral Identity & Ministry Vision Profile.
This phase tests ordination and leadership readiness in theology, ethics, pastoral functions, counseling boundaries, conflict management, spiritual authority and self-care. The goal is not perfection — it is documented, coach-supported readiness with a clear classification.
Deliverable: Ordination Readiness Report with a clear readiness classification.
Readiness means nothing without rhythm. Here you build your first 90-day plan: weekly leadership practices, boundaries, pastoral care systems, decision frameworks, communication rhythms and accountability structures that keep you healthy.
Deliverable: First 90-Day Pastoral Leadership Plan.
With identity and rhythm in place, we turn to the ministry itself: model, team, structure, governance, finance, systems, volunteers and discipleship pathway. You leave this phase with a blueprint that can be handed to a board, team or presbytery.
Deliverable: Ministry Organizational Blueprint.
The final phase translates everything into a twelve-month strategic plan with SMART goals, a ministry calendar, key performance indicators, leadership development priorities and financial and outreach targets. You finish with a plan you can actually execute.
Deliverable: 12-Month Pastoral & Ministry Strategic Plan.
Twelve months of guided phases, one phase every two months, delivered as monthly coaching alongside the assessment and planning tools in your portal.
Plan on two to three hours a week: assessment and planning work in the portal, plus your scheduled coaching sessions.
No. Application, the staged Discover intake and the discovery session cost nothing. You are only invited to enroll after that session.
No. The Ordination Readiness Report is part of Phase 3, but the journey serves any pastoral leader who wants assessment, formation and a real plan.
Yes. Reduced and sponsored places are available at the coach's discretion — raise it in your discovery session.
Only you and your coach. Coaching notes and reports are private until your coach releases them to you.
