CfCL’s Coaching Program

At CfCL we journey alongside church leaders to support them and respond to their particular needs on an individual basis, equipping and empowering them to better serve God, their families, churches and communities.To achieve this, we advocate for 1:1 coaching — a regular conversation with a trained professional who comes from their own lived ministerial background. Coaching sessions are focussed, sustained, and purposeful; with the ultimate goal of equipping leaders with the tools they need to lead confidently through the complexities of their role.
