We are hoping to identify…

• those who have previously been trained, (and determine if they would be interested in continuing by participating in a “tune-up” session).  If you are interested in the "tune-up" session, please respond directly to President Lange, mike@cnh-lcms.org.

We desire to train coaches in the CNH District for the following purposes. To…

• Come alongside our workers new to the CNH District and/or the full-time ministry.
• Come alongside church planters or other workers.
• Assist workers who find themselves “stuck” and are looking for assistance.
• Enhance a culture of healthy workers and leaders.

What does a mission coach do? 

A mission coach helps people answer three questions:

1. Where am I?
2. Where does God want me to go?
3. How will I get there?

A mentor is sometimes defined as someone who has gone before and pours into an empty vessel that which is missing or absent.  A coach, however, is one who comes alongside and draws out what God has already given.
