Every Church Leader a Coach

Coaching4Clergy (C4C) was founded by Dr. J. Val Hastings, MCC, over twenty years ago with the sole purpose of equipping leaders and organizations with coaching skills for impact, sustainability, and results. Val’s vision is “Every leader a Coach.” Our goal is to provide coaches with mastery-level training that hones their skills and deepens their expertise in coaching.

Today, C4C is a global training organization, with programs in North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, with courses translated into English, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean and Ukrainian. As of 2020, C4TL has graduated 8,756 coaches.

Graduates of our Professional Coach Training program have improved their leadership capacity and learned how to empower individuals, teams and groups. In addition, many of our graduates have launched their own private coaching businesses.

“I have been putting into practice everything I learned from Coaching4Clergy. Residents, patients and families notice that my style as their chaplain has improved tremendously and has encouraged them to look for the best in themselves even during the most trying times. This has been one of the best gifts I have chosen for myself.”

– Rev. Edna R. Andres, Hospital Chaplain

“The biggest insight that I’ve had with coaching is that of viewing your client as whole. I’ve done pastoral counseling for decades and people have always come because they need help; coaching is different. The client is the expert and the coach is the expert. This is the basis for discovery and development.”
