DFM COACHING

Pastoral and Congregational Coaching

This ministry is in addition to our work of revival and motivational speaking. Dale says,
“Coaching is a powerful tool to empower congregations and pastors to discover and
maximize their potential.”

Who needs a coach?  
Stuck pastors and churches
Pastors that are new to “The Ministry”
Pastors that are experiencing a disconnect between their education and their practice.
Churches and pastors that need focusing of their vision and organization
Pastors who need focusing of personal skills/work practices
Pastors who need development of their people skills
Churches in transition
Pastors in transition
What does a coach do?
Actively Listens
Incites personal awareness and responsibility
Asks penetrating questions
Helps client discover his/her own ideas
Guides the client to specific measurable steps to success
Facilitates accountability to the client’s goals

What is it worth?
To the lay person: It is better to build the pastor you have than replace him. Economically
(moving cost and interviews) and emotionally (sense of failure). Coaching is a bargain.  
“Divorce is ugly and expensive.”

To the pastor: What is it worth to have a safe confidential ally to help you achieve peak
performance in ministry

What is it worth to see the mission and vision of your church reborn?

Why and What does it cost?
Your initial consultation is free of charge!
It costs because that is part of the accountability and motivation to get moving.
The cost will always take into consideration:
Dale’s logged coaching hours as he completes the ICF certification process.
The financial capability of the church as Dale has a heart for the local church.


Why should Dale Freed be your coach?  
              His personal coaching experiences
His ongoing coach training
His passion to help pastors
                  Broad background in pastoral ministry

“Coaching brings hope in every area of life because the client is seeing tangible results
in his/her area of greatest frustration.”

Who should initiate the process?
Pastor, board member, or District Superintendent. Our primary focus is to work with the
local church pastor.

Dale works with local congregations
In need of refocusing or transition. Coaching empowers the leadership to discover their
strengths and possibilities, rewriting their future

church - Dale is!
