FREE LIFE COACH COURSE
Are you interested in doing life coaching? Are you in ministry and want to learn how to be a life coach minister? Are you seeking to add life coaching to your chaplaincy skills? This tuition-free life coach course may help you!
This college-level Free Life Coach Course (3 Credits) teaches you how to do life coaching ministry. After graduating from Calvin Seminary with a Masters of Divinity, Rev Steve Elzinga pastored in a church in Michigan. He then planted a church that grew to over 500 people in British Columbia in 1988. Elzinga pursued life coaching in the early days of the movement before various Life Coaching certifications became popular around 2000 and beyond.
Master Life Coach and Founder of Amway Rich DeVos mentored Rev. Elzinga in being a life coach. This class also reflects that training.
Christian Leaders Institute is privileged to offer this free life coach course and a minister licensing and ordination program. There are also many life coaching certifications and many specialized badges. These programs are different from the traditional “life coaching certification” programs which certify you in the general principles and practices. The traditional approach certifies you as a “life coach” who may or may not be a minister. This approach certifies ministers to be life coach ministers. In addition, Christian Leaders Institute operates the Life Coach Minister website. Click here for more details of the Life Coach Minister program.
ADVANTAGES
1. Your parishioner or client expects that your ministry perspective will be grounded with a Biblical foundation. Unfortunately, typical life coaching techniques do not clearly define the role of someone’s walk with God in the life coach/client relationship. In this approach, these issues are laid out upfront.
2. You will still utilize the techniques and advances in the life coaching field and learn how these life coaching techniques and practices will assist you in ministry.
3. Because this course comes at this from a ministry perspective, you will be able to pursue many Life Coach Minister licensed or ordination roles.
OUTCOMES
- Learn the principles of the exciting field of life coaching.
- Discover how ministry connects to life coaching.
- Learn the skills of life coaching and how they differ from pastoral care or counseling.
- Develop skills in life coaching that will allow you to minister more effectively in a local church or local life coaching ministry.
- If interested, get certified by the Christian Leaders Alliance and ordained as a Life Coach Minister (there are fees for certification and ordination).
