What is Missions Coaching?

Like any good coach, a church missions  coach helps your team...
 
. Understand its purpose.
. Assess its current situation.
. Set clear goals.
. Develop a game plan.
. Train and prepare to implement.
. Execute the plan.
. Make mid course corrections.
. Assess the outcome and repeat.
 
Your coach will come alongside you for the duration (typically 7 to 9 months). He/she will work with your church leadership, acting as a guide through the 3D Process (Discover, Design, Deploy).
 
Your dedicated coach will assist you in developing and executing your missions vision. And like a coach, they will not only mentor and train your church, but will be available and accessible to walk with you throughout the entire process... encouraging, supporting, and advising. Our coaches consider it a privilege to join your church in taking Christ to the nations.
  
Our process of 3D—Discover, Design, and Deploy—is not a one-time event but a highly customizable process.
 
Discover
This phase involves establishing a biblical foundation for your church's missions mandate, assessing your present efforts, and seeking the Lord's direction in crafting a mission statement for the global outreach of your church.
 
The coach will guide you in developing a set of core values, and in discovering and articulating a unique missions vision to align with God's heart for the nations and compel your church to action. Finally, you will assess together your readiness to implement this missions vision.
 
Design
Based on your discoveries, your group will begin to develop a strategic missions plan in order to realize your unique vision. This plan will include broad sets of opportunities, making it possible for everyone in your congregation to be involved.
 
Deploy
Finally, your vision is set in motion, and the whole church is mobilized. The Great Commission becomes integrated into every aspect of body life... to pray, love, witness, teach, multiply, fund, and plant.
