ministry coaching

The Ministry Coaching Association Certification exists to train and equip Christian youth workers in a variety of capacities. Our initial offering is certification as a ministry coach. In partnership with The Youth Cartel, the MCA is providing training and certification for all the 1-on-1 coaches utilized by The Youth Cartel in their Youth Ministry Coaching Program, as well as 1-on-1 coaching contracts. But MCA certification will no longer be limited to those contexts. This program is ideal for at least three kinds of youth ministry leaders:

* Individual ministry workers with a desire to increase their capacity for coaching other ministry leaders, either voluntarily, or as a side business.
* The ministry point-person who oversee other paid staff and want to increase their effectiveness in helping their team grow.
* Denominational and organizational leaders involved in coaching, mentoring and developing ministry workers.
