Lead Pastor, New Life Church

"Taking a coaching course has been a transformative journey that has not only made me a more effective pastor, but has also sharpened my skills in discipleship, empowering me to bring about profound growth and positive change in the lives of those I lead. It has been an invaluable investment that has elevated my leadership abilities and deepened my impact on the spiritual development of others."

Dr. Vince Varghese

National Community Church, Pastoral Leadership Team

Court Representative for the DC Dept. of Disability Services

“I am grateful for the coach training opportunity through PMN. I learned much and enjoyed the process of coaching and being coached. When I look back, I’ve seen progress in the areas I was coached in. And it has been a joy to hear testimonies of how I have impacted others through coaching and the positive difference it has made in their lives.”

Peyton Harris

Pastor, River of Life Community Church

“I really enjoyed the coaching training and find it has been very helpful for me to use the skills in my interaction with others in ministry. The skills have enabled me to be more active as a listener, and therefore, I have been more effective at helping those who come to me with needs.”

The coaching process is personally tailored to you and/or your ministry, giving you a thought partner who will walk with you and give you the space needed to engage with focus, clarity, and awareness in light of the larger picture. The coaching relationship empowers leaders and their teams to live and lead intentionally with confidence, skill, and joy for lasting sustainable impact.
