VISION OF THE MINISTRY COACH INITIATAIVE:

The Women Ministries Connection – equipping women to coach local women ministry leaders.

MISSION STATEMENT OF THE MINISTRY COACH INITIATIVE:

Women Ministries' Ministry Coach initiative exists to equip women to coach local women ministry leaders who are:

• excited about loving and serving Jesus;
• fulfilling their calling and giftedness; and
• working in harmony with their church's vision.

Conference Women Ministries Leadership Teams sponsor potential coaches to be trained as Ministry Coaches. Women interested in becoming a coach are encouraged to contact their Conference WM President or Chair. The denominational Office does not select coaches but will refer those interested to their conference WM leaders.

The Ministry Coaches will serve in their regions as volunteers and would be welcomed to a church as a guest speaker, with travel expenses reimbursed. Local churches are encouraged to express appreciation for the coaching with an appropriate honorarium.
