JASON KOVACS

Developing a Culture of Care Coaching Cohort

6 months / Limited to 12 people

 

This Group is currently closed.

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”30″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]Many pastors and church leaders feel ill-equipped and frustrated when it comes to care and counseling. It is not uncommon that their only training was one or two classes in seminary, yet much of what is required as a pastor involves the messiness of sin and suffering in the people we are called to serve. Emotional and mental health issues, conflict, the slow progress of sanctification are complex challenges that every pastor faces daily. Not just in the lives of the congregation but in their own life. How do you maintain the vision and mission of the church, provide godly leadership, ensure that Sunday services are organized weekly and find time to care for people in the church and the city? 

 

This cohort will help equip leaders and pastors with developing a culture within their church that will involve every person in the responsibility of caring for one another and those outside the church. Participants will have a place to learn a theology and practice of gospel care, as well as wrestle with and strategize ways to move their church forward in this way. We will discuss tools to care for people in a loving, practical, and gospel-centered way as well as how to involve the whole church.

 

This online Coaching Cohort is designed specifically for pastors to equip them with the structure, processes and tools to develop a community that cares for people in a loving, practical, and gospel-centered way. This Cohort will address both the theology and practice of gospel-centered pastoral counseling as well as:

 

  • The structure, processes and tools you need to develop a culture of care
  • Developing healthy pastoral boundaries
  • Pastoral triage for anxiety, depression, addiction, marriage counseling, mental illness and abuse, etc.
  • How to work with professional counselors and lay counselors 
  • Emotional health and self-care

 

SESSION ONE: Crafting a Whole Church Vision for Care

SESSION TWO:  Developing Healthy Pastoral Boundaries

SESSION THREE:  Pastoral Triage for Sin and Suffering (Anxiety, depression, addiction, marriage counseling, mental illness and abuse, etc.)

SESSION FOUR:  Developing a Plan for Equipping Others

SESSION FIVE: Utilizing Resources and Making Referrals

SESSION SIX: Self Care
