Church and Clergy Coach
Accomplishing More with Less

By Eddie Hammett at EHammett@TheColumbiaPartnership.org.Eddie Hammett

In tough economic times, not to mention tough leadership times, effective leaders are essential to keeping the church, judicatory, or denomination moving forward. I have been exploring, and experimenting for some time with the role of a Coach in Residence. What I'm discovering is that the coach approach often allows tasks to be accomplished or projects to be moved forward through the short-term, focused services of a Christian leadership coach working with an on-site leadership team.

I'm currently working, as part of my ministry through The Columbia Partnership, as a Church and Clergy Coach for Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of NC. We are discovering more can be accomplished with less full-time staff, revenue, time and energy. Permit me to share a framework we are currently working with for the next year.
