Coaching

What is the role of a High Impact Church Planting (HICP) coach?

Once a planter has “graduated” or completed the Leadership Residency program and is placed, they will continue to receive coaching and mentoring.  The role of the coach is to provide on-going encouragement and accountability to the planter while they execute their action plan. 

What is your understanding of coaching vs mentoring within the HICP network?

In the HICP, we make a distinction between the initial coaching the planter receives to launch the church and initially lead day-to-day operations.  Coaching for the first 1-2 years is different than the on-going mentoring that comes later in the life of the church as the planter networks with other church leaders to implement healthy church systems.

Who is eligible to become a HICP coach?

Any church leader who has been interviewed and approved by the HICP Development Team.

Are HICP coaches paid for their time or do they volunteer?

As the ministry of the HICP emerges, there may be opportunity for our nationally- qualified coaches who provide on-going training / resourcing to be paid a small fee.  Our current plan is for these fees to go into a fund to help the long-term development of the HICP and to help fund expansion activities.  In the HICP, we have decided that no individual will benefit financially from the Church of the Nazarene’s HICP program.  The Leadership Team wants to  create it for the church and deliver it to the church without personal gain.
