Flourishing Ministers: Flourishing Communities
A Group Coaching Programme for Christian Ministers

Get beneath the surface of well-being to create real and lasting change

This six-session group coaching programme gets below the surface of the usual recommendations around self-care and well-being to unpack the deeper relational and psychological dynamics that can frustrate ministers’ best efforts to flourish in their work and in their church communities.

The programme is based on my new book of the same name: Flourishing Ministers: Flourishing Communities, a practical resource for those in Christian ministry, written with the support of The Susanna Wesley Foundation.

This short video below introduces the resource and uses excerpts from the launch event.

The book explores the impact of personal factors and community challenges on well-being and demonstrates how investing in 6 key areas can transform the health of ministers and support the flourishing of their churches.

The coaching group programme brings the insights explored in the book to life, supporting and empowering ministers to apply them within their personal life and church context.

Attending the Flourishing Ministers group coaching programme will:

• Support you to move forward to achieve your well-being goals
• Enable you to embed the fundamental building blocks of flourishing to your personal life and ministry situation
• Offer you a confidential and supportive peer group space where learning, insights and growth are shared and challenges and difficulties are considered together.
• Give you expert input as every session is targeted towards the group’s specific needs, drawing on additional tools and resources as relevant.
