About CCNI's Coaching in the Church community group
Imagine a church where every member is equipped with the tools to deepen their spiritual connections, overcome challenges, and achieve personal growth in Christ. Our monthly Coaching in the Church community group meeting is a shared discussion format to help Christian Coaches create a dynamic coaching program that fosters unity and spiritual flourishing in their churches and faith-based organizations. We take a coach approach to our monthly conversation and build our discussion around needs that arise on developing a coaching niche in the church.
