What is Coaching?
“Coaching is the art and practice of guiding a person or group from where they are toward the greater competence and fulfillment that they desire.” Gary Collins, in Christian Coaching
“Coaching is helping people grow without telling them what to do.” Tony Stoltzfus, in Leadership Coaching
What is TCN Coaching?
TCN Coaching focuses on the 8 Hinge Factors and, if there has been a consultation, the 5 prescriptions, for the purpose of transforming churches.
Coaching may begin at any time during the revitalization process. Many Pastors like to engage a TCN Coach when they join a Learning Community. Others may begin after their congregation has experienced a Hinge Training Event or after a Consultation. In any event, monthly contact with the TCN coach will help the pastor and leaders of the congregation develop strategies to grow in the eight core competencies. The coaching involves reporting, problem solving, brainstorming and action planning as needed.
