Ministry coaching and consulting
I’m looking for…
Ministry coaching
While classes, webinars and other resources can provide much-needed education and formation, Catholic ministers often need more. The Center for Learning’s personalized coaching services provide one-on-one support for liturgical and pastoral ministers in parishes, Catholic schools and other ministries.
Whether a minister needs help building or managing a ministry team, leading ministries in a merged parish, effectively preparing the liturgy, running rehearsals, or just finding balance, ministry coaching can help to improve organization, communication, stress management and more.
Ministry coaching is not mental health care, therapy, counseling, or spiritual direction. That said, it can be a therapeutic experience and is certainly not devoid of a spiritual component. Our coaches are experienced ministers who can help others work through problems in ministry and provide educated advice, as well as a listening ear.
Individuals benefit greatly by signing up for coaching themselves, but this is also a service that bishops, pastors and others can provide for their staff. As we are increasingly required to do more with less, coaching services can help bridge the gap for diocesan and parish leaders who need to provide their professional ministers and volunteers with support and advice but only have so many hours in a day.
Coaching can improve performance and decrease burnout, improving the effectiveness of Catholic ministries. Sign up for a FREE consultation to develop a unique coaching plan for yourself or your staff and to discuss pricing.
Ministry consulting
Along with coaching for individuals, the Center for Learning offers ministry consulting at the organizational level. If your ministry could benefit from a third-party audit and evaluation, or just experienced experts to bounce ideas off, then our consulting services are for you. We provide liturgical, administrative and leadership solutions for dioceses, parishes, Catholic schools and other ministries.
Consulting can improve the effectiveness of your Catholic ministry programs and organization. Sign up for a FREE consultation to develop a unique ministry consulting plan for your organization and to discuss pricing.
Custom formation: Liturgies in Catholic Schools
Prayer - especially the Mass - is at the heart of a Catholic school. But most school communities could use help and guidance to prepare and lead vibrant liturgies. This program includes the following components:
individual coaching to address the specific needs and realities of your school community,
participation in several Professional Learning Communities with other Catholic school staff,
access to planning resources including song recommendations for every part of the year,
participation in The Liturgy Forecast program for Catholic schools,
access to a library of on-demand video classes for your staff and student leaders,
and more!
All components are delivered virtually, but in-person formation and training can be added. The program is fully customizable, so you can add components depending on your need and budget. We are prepared to help all Catholic school communities: elementary, middle, high school, parish-sponsored, regional, diocesan, etc.
