In recognition that Life Coaching is an important new pastoral discipline, the United Methodist Endorsing Agency of the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of the United Methodist Church endorses clergy for the Ministry of Life Coaching.
There are now sixteen clergy who are leading our denomination in using Life Coaching in ministry. In order for more clergy to experience the power of coaching, each of these endorsed ministers offers a complimentary sample session. Each one is in a different ministry setting and demonstrates in her or his own way how coaching is important in this new era of ministry.
