Just submit your confidential answers to a few questions to get started. Our Director of Coaching will reach out to you regarding next steps.

The cost can be free, or costs can run from the price of a cup of coffee or lunch, up to $150 per session. The difference in the cost is related to the amount of experience of the coach. If you are a pastor or congregational leader and your congregation is going to benefit from the coaching relationship, we highly recommend that the church bear whatever cost there is associated with the relationship. If you need help to offset some of the cost of coaching, please contact Jill.Beverlin@elca.org to inquire.

We believe that anyone who has goals they want to accomplish and/or learning they want to master can benefit from a coaching relationship. The core requirements are a posture of openness, a willingness of intentional reflection, and a desire to work on the part of the client.
