Congregational Coaching

The document discusses congregational coaching, which involves training coaches to work with individual churches. Coaches help churches identify their strengths and gifts to better achieve their mission and goals. The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina developed a coaching program that trains people over several months to become certified congregational coaches. Coaches then work directly with churches to facilitate change and growth. Reports indicate congregational coaching has helped churches make improvements by utilizing members' talents and shifting roles and responsibilities.
