Strategic Leadership that Serves as a Pressure Release Value

Ministry will always be challenging, but you don’t have to carry it alone.

This yearlong partnership gives you the support, strategy, and clarity you need to lead with margin and momentum.

Who It’s For (And Who It’s Not):

I work with pastors leading churches under 100 and over 10,000. The size of your church matters less than the growth mindset of your heart.

If you want a trusted partner in your corner — someone who knows ministry, understands strategy, and brings outside perspective without pressure — this relationship is for you.

My One-on-One coaching is designed for:

For growth-minded lead pastors navigating complexity
For pastors ready to add a strategic mind to their ministry
For leaders tired of one-size-fits-all coaching
For those ready to make bold, focused moves

Passive participants or those seeking generic advice are not a fit for this service.

What You Can Expect:

STRATEGIC SUPPORT

Facing ministry pressures opens you and your church to necessary change. Change is disruptive, even when necessary. Think of me as your strategic guide as we make things better.

PERSONAL CONFIDENCE

We’ll create space to reflect, simplify, and refocus your leadership efforts. Ministry leadership affects pastors personally and professionally. I’m here to help you with both.

RELATIONAL ACCESS

A confidential, trusted partner to carry the load with you. We’ll meet twice a month digitally and schedule a multiday, in-person visit each quarter. You’ll also have unlimited text and email support.

"It can feel impossible to work on the pressure when you're so busy being squeezed by it."

– Gavin Adams
