New Church Development Coaches Program
To start a church, you need more than information—you need more than motivation. What you need is effective coaching! You need both insight and advice, delivered at the right moment during the initial days of your church start. Our vision is also that every organizing pastor will have available a trained and qualified coach. Coaching can make the difference! National studies done over the last 10 years reveal church planters who follow no specific training track and develop no plan have a 30% chance for the church to be functioning and viable five years later. Church planters who were trained, coached and develop a plan have an 89% chance for the church to be functioning and viable five years later.
Coaching is All About Goals The NCD coach is far more than a friend or support system for the pastor. An NCD coach’s primary commitment is helping the NCD achieve vision and goals agreed upon by the pastor, presbytery and lay leadership. Vision is understood to include: •
Core Values
•
Behaviors
•
Language
•
Culture of the Congregation
•
Potential ministries, target people groups, etc.
The coaching program brings experienced church development pastors together with organizing pastors beginning new churches
Once the vision is intact, with realistic and mutually shared goals, then the coach works with the pastor on strategies to reach and fulfill this vision. A coach will: •
Help clarify these goals,
•
Reach agreements,
•
Focus the pastor and leaders’ work on reaching the goals.
Coaching F.A.Q’s How does it work? The coach will visit annually with the NCD pastor and leadership - both congregational and presbytery. Following this preliminary visit a contract or covenant is signed between the pastor, coach and presbytery. The coach will be in regular contact with the pastor discussing specific concerns, suggesting strategies and recommending resources.

When should a coach be engaged? •
Before you begin. A coach can work with your team from the conception to develop a strategy and process for starting a new church.
•
Once an organizing pastor is called. Those early days can be tough, with one meeting, twelve people and an empty day planner. A coach can help create a productive workweek.
•
Further along, when the new congregation faces a plateau.
•
When staffing is getting started.
•
When a building is being considered.
•
At some other anticipated challenge a coach could help.
•
If the goals are not being met, a coach can play an important role. In early assessment meetings you measure progress against projections and hopes. The coaching program opens up an array of options to help our NCD’s
How Do I Request a Coach? •
To request a coach, or for further information about the coaching program, you may contact the Church Growth Office of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Call 888-728722, ext. 5247, or e-mail Sherry Britton or Brian Clark.
