Coaching

We’re here to walk with you.

Parenting and ministry leadership can feel overwhelming—especially when it comes to nurturing faith in the next generation. That’s where we come in.

Our mission is simple: to equip and encourage parents, grandparents, ministry leaders, and faith influencers as they disciple the next generation.

Whether you’re just beginning or looking for a fresh perspective, our trained coaches are ready to meet you where you are and help you grow.

What Makes Our Coaching Different?

Nurturing Faith Collective Coaches are more than mentors—they're ministry practitioners and parents, trained through Bethel Seminary’s Master of Arts in Children, Youth and Family Ministry. Every coach understands the real-life joys and challenges of faith formation at home and in church. We don’t bring formulas—we bring faith, wisdom, and a heart for the next generation.

Grounded in God’s Word

Psalm 78:4 declares, “We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.”

We believe that everyday moments—mealtime, bedtime, car rides, and questions—can become sacred spaces where faith is formed. We’re here to help parents, grandparents, and faith influencers recognize them, nurture them, and multiply them.

Ministry leaders will find space to reflect on their own faith journey while strengthening their ability to support families in spiritual formation. We help leaders recognize opportunities to equip parents, build intergenerational connections, and cultivate a culture of discipleship in their church community.
