Gospel Coaching

The 21st Century is marked by an ever-changing landscape. This fast pace of change demands that leaders be agile in their ability to assess and to adjust to ever changing situations. Coaching uniquely helps today’s leader to navigate personal and church-plant-related challenges.

Why coaching?

Coaching provides accountability and a framework for just-in-time learning as individuals, groups and teams. Coaching helps leaders with forward momentum and development of new skills. A coach is in conversation with leaders in regard to their personal, missional, relational and spiritual life in the context of their communities, team, organisations and church plants.

Training for coaches

Coaching provides young leaders with support, assistance, and accountability. For example, a coach helps young church planters develop their church-planting competencies, addresses personal life issues, and provides insights into role navigation in the church planting project in the context of an intentional gospel friendship. It is a process of imparting encouragement and skills to the planter to succeed in starting a gospel-centred church.

What’s in the training?

Good coaches need to develop several skills and competencies: connecting with a variety of different people, connecting in different contexts and moments in time, the ability to ask good questions and to not offer advice. The London Project is convinced that the gospel is always part of the coaching process. Therefore, we discuss and train gospel-centred values and processes in the coaching-dialogue.

We would like coaches to be available to work within a relational context with a church planter for one or two years after the training.
