Strategic Coaching for Ministry Leaders
Strategic coaching for the unique needs of ministry leaders.
Ministry coaching applies strategic leadership skills to the demands of ministry leadership.
A pastor’s responsibility is more than sharing the Word of God. It requires supporting the needs of parishioners in their spiritual growth while at the same time leading the church, including other pastors, volunteer staff, and community leaders.
Strategic coaching for ministry leaders helps you gain clarity and confidence in your leadership style so you can focus on achieving your ministry goals.

“The role of spiritual leaders is not to dream up dreams for God but to be the vanguard for their people in understanding God’s revelation. The Christian leader is far better described as a servant of God.”
— Henry Blackaby
Strategic coaching that meets you where you are.
Your specific leadership situation, focus, and goals are the starting point for your customized strategic coaching program. To help you navigate your coaching journey, Break Out Strategic Coaching offers four ministry leader coaching programs:
Strategic Coaching
For Senior Pastors
As the leader of a medium to a large congregation, your role includes leading a team of associate pastors to minister to your community.
As an effective strategic leader, you need to empower your teams with a clear vision and a strategy to reach that vision.
Your responsibilities include clarifying the decision-making process, managing diverse member groups' needs, fostering the relationships between associate pastors, and encouraging positive, open communication among pastoral staff and church members.
This big-picture, long-term focused strategic coaching helps you focus your pastoral team organization on meeting your congregation’s needs for today and the future.
Strategic Leadership Coaching engagements range from three to nine months.
Individual Strategic Coaching
For Associate Pastors
As an associate pastor, your role is to support and take guidance from your senior pastor as well as to develop vision and followership for your sphere of ministry.
You are following the lead and vision of the senior pastor. Learning to work within the senior pastor’s leadership style while offering your insights and opportunities for change can be complicated.
Additionally, a generalized versus specific role may require an emphasis on different leadership behaviors based on whom you minister to within your community.
The focus is to understand your leadership style and expand your leadership skills to meet growing responsibilities.
Individual Leadership Coaching ranges from three to six months.
Team Strategic Coaching
For Ministry Team Leaders & Team Members
Team leadership is an integral part of any pastoral role. Teams may include associate pastor teams, hired staff teams, volunteer member teams.
As a team leader, you must drive purpose and vision. You must foster supportive team communication and trust and create a strategic and actual plan to successfully achieve your ministry work.
Understanding your leadership style and behaviors helps you navigate team leadership challenges and support your team members' growth and success.
This program supports the team leader and individual team members.
Engagements range from two to four months as needed.
Transition Strategic Coaching
For Transitioning Pastors
Moving from one congregation to another, or from one role to another, is an opportunity to assess and prepare for new responsibilities and update your leadership skills.
