Teamwork on a Whole New Level...

Leaders of churches and other faith-based organizations face the unique challenge of providing leadership to a staff that is both a spiritual community of faith AND a strategic organizational team. Creating a work environment that is both organizationally effective and spiritually life-giving is a daunting challenge even for the most seasoned of leaders.

If you’re looking for your leadership teams to perform to their fullest potential for the Kingdom, it will take more than the typical cookie-cutter "team building" approaches that we’ve all experienced, leaving participants transiently “feeling good” but without lasting impact, commitment, accountability, and change.

Our approach is different.

At the Ascent Coaching Group, we believe that each team God creates is unique, and that the design of any coaching program for your team should be a deeply collaborative process. We customize each program based upon the objectives and unique culture of your church and organization.

We begin working with leaders on their real life issues, dilemmas, visions and goals. We work with the team where they are now, and assist in unifying their commitment to a common purpose and shared values. We then build structures to maximize accountability for each individual and their results.

From start to finish, our team development and coaching initiatives are designed for impact. The benefits extend from the individual to the staff to the entire congregation, inspiring all toward improved productivity, higher positivity, and greater spiritual impact. We provide your staff with practical tools designed to improve team communication, create authentic alignment around clearly defined team objectives, generate aggressive action plans, and introduce structure and accountability to keep everyone moving forward. The ultimate goal of the coaching process is to unleash the transformational impact of your team, enabling your staff members and leaders to partner more effectively with God in the good work of inspiring irreversible life change in your church, your community and the world.
