Vision and Goals:

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines a coaching relationship as a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires a person to maximize their personal and professional potential. One church planter said, “I know this — I’ve planted a church without a coach, and I’ve planted a church with a coach. All I can tell you is that I’ll never plant a church without a coach again.”

PennDel Coaching Network wants to help pastors and ministry leaders connect with certified coaches, foster coach training and spur coaching as a best practice for emerging and progressive ministry leaders and their teams.
