Clergy Couples
Coaching Group
Being part of a clergy couple has its benefits because your other half speaks the same strange language and can relate to the unique experiences involved with being called to ministry life. BUT for the same reasons it has its unique challenges. This coaching group is created for clergy couples - whether you’re co-pastors or are each in your own ministry setting…or even if one/both of you are not in a ministry setting (us clergy couples know all about the challenge of finding two calls in the same place). The goal is to help couples navigate between their call to ministry and their relationship in a healthy way, and to gain new strategies for supporting one another in their calls.
Clergy Couples Coaching Group is intended for both members of a relationship, not for individuals. This coaching group is a space for relationships that fall on all parts of the spectrum.
**Coaching is not counseling nor is recommended as a replacement for counseling. Coaches are not licensed therapists and are not trained in counseling in any way. Coaching IS a great supplement to counseling if clients are ready to propel themselves forward with future goals.
