*Gospel Coach is a new coaching system designed to give Christian leaders a theological foundation and a practical system to develop and equip other leaders in the local church and to shepherd them to glorify God. It can be used to shepherd believers in all stages of their life, maturity, age, and gender. Denominational leaders can Gospel Coach pastors or regional leaders. Pastors can Gospel Coach their elders, fellow staff members, and up-and-coming leaders. Elders can Gospel Coach other volunteers in the church and disciples can Gospel Coach other disciples. In fact, parents can Gospel Coach their children with the principles covered.

The main difference between Gospel Coach and other coaching philosophies is that generally most coaching is conducted for output or “doing.” Gospel Coach is designed for outcome or “being.” It is a belief that from our being (in Christ) emanates our doing. We are created in Christ Jesus for doing good works (Eph. 2:10).

The coach-training breakout at the Acts 29 Boot Camp provides a system for Christian leaders to shepherd and lead the flock of God to pursue the mission of God for His glory.

Gospel Coach has seven core commitments:

1. To glorify God by shepherding leaders in a holistic manner with the Gospel.
2. To make the Gospel of Jesus Christ the primary focus of every coaching session.
3. To shepherd leaders’ hearts for Gospel transformation.
4. To hold to the authority and sufficiency of Scripture.
5. To equip leaders to exhibit Gospel implications as image–bearers of God.
6. To promote the local church as the seat of ministry where community, mission and the Gospel exude to the world.
7. To coach church leaders to be qualified, gospel-empowered developers of other church leaders producing healthy, disciple-making churches.
