3. CO-OP: Coaching of Pastors (on-going)
The purpose of CO-OP is to assist Covenant pastors in developing the skills necessary to lead their church to its full kingdom potential through pastor coaching. CO-OP helps the pastor lead strategically and organizationally. Through coaching, the pastor receives guidance on how to turn vision into reality.
Our proven approach utilizes the combined synergy of customized coaching, pre-designed ministry systems, and two strategy workshops conducted annually by highly accomplished church leaders. CO-OP does not compete with the core training of pastoral arts in preaching, teaching, and caring. Rather, it focuses on leadership areas that pastors often seek for supplemental training.
