Engaging and Encouraging Pastors as they Lead

One of the most fulfilling and challenging callings a man can respond to is to the office of pastor to a local congregation. Regardless of one’s level of education, there is simply no class, course, or book that can teach a pastor “how” to pastor, or shape a man’s abilities to pastor more effectively. Additionally, the pressures of being a pastor cannot truly be understood by anyone who has not walked a mile in his shoes.

Dr. Aiken served in full-time pastoral ministry for more than two decades, serving churches of all shapes, sizes, and cultures. From small rural churches to church plants, mid-sized churches to large churches, Chris has walked the journey of shepherding. He knows the seasons of loneliness, the strains on a pastor’s family, and the joy of breaking through barriers to growth. He is that “safe space” and understanding voice to partner with pastors as they seek to discover new ways to thrive in their calling. 

Executive coaching can be as personal as pursuing a more vital and fulfilling intimacy with the Lord, or as professionally focused as developing key skill areas such as:

• preaching
• evangelism
• mission engagement
• strategic leadership and leader development
• administration
• change management
• revisioning and reframing culture
• addressing growth barriers to growth so that it might flourish again, executive coaching is for you. 

A pastor’s effectiveness in fulfilling his calling is worthy of the investment to achieve his potential, whether personal or professional. 

Executive coaching for pastors is available in a variety of customizable settings, including both group and individual environments. Thanks to some important partnerships, financial assistance may be available to qualified pastors who are seeking assistance, encouragement, coaching, or even specific consultative services for leading the local church.
