The traditional way of counting numbers in congregations
doesn't help people see a Jesus who makes a difference. |

Is it time to change your scorecard?
Faith is passed on by the power of the Holy Spirit through personal trusted relationships, fostered by a partnership of home and congregation. Moving your ministry toward a more effective youth and family ministry model takes intentional planning, strategizing, reshaping, and support. |

What Others are Saying about The Institute's Coaching
|
As a synod staff, coaching through The Youth & Family Institute helps us define our focus and holds us to a common vision. It is important for our congregational leaders to know that we take our focus of passing on the faith seriously and are willing to walk that talk through coaching.
Tammy Jones-West
North Carolina Synod
I have been a parish pastor for 15 years. As good as my seminary education was, it didn't adequately prepare
me for the challenges of congregational development, leadership, mission planning, and how my own uniqueness intersected the life of the church. I have a sense of clarity, conviction, and means of practical application of ministry that I never had before. My church and I have been joyfully blessed!
Pastor Tim Johnson
All Saints Lutheran Church, Minnetonka, MN
Coaching has been very important to me and to First Presbyterian in the following ways:
• Great help in learning to ask the right questions about new
opportunities in ministry.
• Important discernment tool for listening to where God is
leading us.
• A great expansion of vision.
• A wonderful tool for moving into transforming, rather than
maintaining ministries.
Pastor Roula Alkhouri,
First Presbyterian Church, Bend, OR
It was amazing to have a coach who could hold a mirror to my work, awaken in me areas of interest and passion I had put aside, and draw a stronger sense of leadership out of me. Two questions asked of me were "Where do you want to be with your ministry?" and "What's stopping you?" The roadblocks I had been standing behind were blown over with prayer, vision, and strategy. I still keep notes from our coaching meetings within reach!
Stacy Frost
Director of Annual Giving
Southwest Minnesota State University
The coaching our staff and ministry teams have received from The Youth & Family Institute has been amazingly helpful in our journey to become more faithfully effective in our work and daily lives. In coaching, we were given tools to use and techniques to apply which actually work!
Gail Bach
Program & Staff Minister
St. Andrew Lutheran Church, Eden Prairie, MN
Through The Youth & Family Institute, our church has learned core
principles of how faith is passed on to others. Now, aided by The Institute’s coaching ministry, we are finding clarity and focus in applying these principles in our particular setting. The coaching is helping us do what we believe God is calling us to do.
