The Coaching Process

The PEAK Coaching Process provides a navigation system that you carry with you through the life of your church.

PEAK Coaching has brought together three intersecting studies: Organizational Health, Spiritual Formation, and Family Systems Theory. Through 7 Coaching Sessions your church will explore 3 key questions: Where are we as a church? Where is God calling our church forward? How are we going to get there? The coaching process equips your leadership team with skills and tools to implement for alignment with your vision and impact in your community.

Every session includes 3 parts:
1. ANCHOR: A biblical text for discernment.
2. ASK: A question for discovery.
3. ACTIVITY: A tool for development.

The 7 Coaching Sessions:

SESSION 1: THE MORE SESSION

God always has MORE in store for his church! The MORE Session provides your leadership space to reflect and name the celebrations, challenges, and the MORE you you desire God to do through your church.

SESSION 2: THE PEAK REPORT

The PEAK Report is an evaluative assessment of how your church is developing in the 9 Essential Elements of PEAK. It provides a comparative review of how the congregation is experiencing the ministry of the church in relation to church leadership. Through the PEAK Report your leadership team discovers the transformative process of looking within and examining beneath the surface.

SESSION 3: THE COMPASS

The COMPASS session helps your church define cardinal directions that will keep it in alignment with its mission. The 9 Essential Elements of PEAK are oriented around 3 cardinal directions necessary for every church: Leadership, Discipleship, Mission. As your church defines its cardinal directions, it is better equipped to navigate any changes and challenges that come.

SESSION 4: THE IMPACT

In Session 4, your leadership will consider how the ministries of your church can intersect urgent needs of your community for Gospel impact. The Critical Gospel Impact (CGI) activity provides an in-depth but simple framework to evaluate your church ministries and synthesize what you are already doing for the greatest impact in your community.

SESSION 5: THE STORY

The focus of this session is on the story that God has been writing through the life of your church. In this session, your team will review four chapters in your church story: Birth, Growth, Crisis and Current. You will identify the positive experiences and values that have shaped you and are worth repeating, as well as the points in your story that need to be redeemed or restored for you to move forward in healthy multiplication.

SESSION 6: THE MAP

This session teaches you to integrate all the PEAK navigation tools into a system by which you can create a ministry action plan. The MAP (Ministry Action Plan) runs all of your ministries through Alignment with your Cardinal Directions, Focus on your Critical Gospel Impact and Healing from your Story Points.

SESSION 7: THE REMEMBER SESSION

In this session, we will ask the question, “What do we need to remember?” and reflect on how far the team has gone and the good work they have done. The PEAK Journey is not ending – it is just beginning!

TESTIMONIALS

What do people have to say about the Coaching Process?

"I have been praying for anointed and strategic pathways to lead and equip church leaders to rebuild and restore gospel-centered churches in our region. The training I received to be a PEAK coach equipped me to serve leaders and assist them in a rediscovery of their unique kingdom contribution to their community. I have been equipped to lead a healing experience as the church listens to Holy Spirit, engages in honest and honorable conversations about the past, and dreams together about the future."

Steve Fowler

Director for Church Revitalization, Alliance Northwest

"PEAK Coaching Training was instrumental in releasing the tension and keeping the focus where it is needed: hearing God’s voice for the organization, engaging in conversation that leads to discovery of purpose and strengths, and providing practical steps to implement and fulfill the mission."

Keyla Pavia, M.A.

PEAK Coach

"Our PEAK training was invaluable. After 20 years of pastoral ministry and 20 more years of living in Asia, we felt it was time to step back from direct church leadership and instead be equipped to come alongside other leaders. PEAK was God’s answer to prayer as we were waiting on God while transitioning from Bangkok back to life in America. The initial 2-day training was packed full of valuable information which addressed both the “how" and the “why" of the PEAK coaching matrix."
