Coaching Alaska Churches in Purpose and Values

This project developed a seminar using a church
coaching model to help churches refocus by defining
purpose, establishing core values, and sharpening
vision. Surveys and interviews with presbyters,
pastors, and church boards refined the seminar
content and insured buy in at every level of
leadership. A representative sample of both bush and
highway churches participated in the coaching
process. Furthermore, conducting the church coaching
seminars with the entire leadership of the church
expedites the acceptance process and aids in
maintaining momentum.
This project resulted in a continuing
process recognized and endorsed by the Alaska
District of the Assemblies of God. Ongoing classes
designed to help churches across the state to become
better at equipping, encouraging, and supporting
each member and each other as leaders are being
developed and taught. The Alaska District continues
to closely track the success of this project with
participating churches. The development of healthy,
functional, and dynamic churches has resulted from
this team building leadership model.
