Growth is Better with a Guide

Why Formation Coaching?

Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time, rebuilding after a desert season, or looking to multiply your impact, a Formation Coach provides the personalized support you need to take your next steps with confidence.

Your coach understands your unique faith stage and helps you navigate challenges specific to where you are in your journey.

No more wondering what to do next. Get specific, actionable steps tailored to your current stage and goals.

Regular check-ins help you stay consistent with spiritual practices and provide encouragement when growth feels difficult.

Avoid common pitfalls and blind spots. Learn from someone who has navigated similar challenges in their own faith journey.

How Formation Coaching Works

1

Assessment and Matching

Take the Faith Stage Assessment and complete a brief coaching questionnaire. We’ll match you with a coach who understands your stage and situation.

2

Initial Session

Meet your coach, discuss your assessment results, and create a personalized growth plan based on your current stage and goals.

3

Regular Sessions

Meet bi-weekly or monthly (your choice) to review progress, work through challenges, and adjust your growth plan as needed.

4

Ongoing Growth

Continue as long as it’s helpful. Some people coach for a few months, others for years. It’s about what serves your spiritual growth best.

What to Expect from Coaching

Each Session Includes:

  • Progress Review: Celebrate wins and identify growth areas
  • Challenge Processing: Work through doubts, struggles, or spiritual dryness
  • Practical Tools: Learn specific practices for your current stage
  • Next Steps Planning: Set clear, achievable goals for spiritual growth
  • Resource Recommendations: Get books, studies, or practices tailored to you
  • Prayer & Reflection: End with prayer and time for spiritual reflection

Our Coaching Approach

Non-directive: We don’t tell you what to believe or do. Instead, we help you discover what God is already doing in your life.

Scripture-centered: All coaching is grounded in biblical wisdom and principles.

Stage-aware: Your coach understands the unique challenges and opportunities of your current faith stage.

Practical: Every session ends with concrete next steps you can implement immediately.

Time Commitment

Most coaching relationships last 3-12 months. Sessions are 45-60 minutes, typically every 2-4 weeks. The frequency and duration are entirely up to you.
