Coaching
Learning to Follow Jesus
Some things are better worked out with one other person than in a room of eighty. Learning to Follow Jesus pairs you with a coach for eight weeks of reading, honest questions, and prayer. It works whether you started following Jesus last month or forty years ago, and we have heard the stories from both.
FAQ

Learning to Follow Jesus is a step by step discipleship guide written by Daniel McNaughton & Claude Valdes. The book has 7 chapters, or qualities.
1. Learn to be With Jesus

In each quality you'll find a scripture verse to focus on that week, guided questions based on the scripture passages & some helpful questionaries to help guide your discussion.
What does coaching look like?
Each week, you'll read through one quality of the Learning to Follow Jesus book. Estimate about 15 minutes each day of reading & answering questions in the book. On your coaching day that week, your coach will guide you through a discussion of that week's reading & allow the Holy Spirit to speak to both of you as the session progresses. The session is confidential & discussion stays between you & your coach. Each session closes with prayer & a preview of the next week's reading.
What is the time commitment?
You & your coach will set up a one hour meeting once a week for 8 weeks. Outside of your coaching meetings, anticipate around 15 minutes a day of reading through the Learning to Follow Jesus resource.
Where does coaching take place?
We have had coaching sessions on-site at church, as well as in homes, coffee shops & other spaces around the community. You & your coach will work together to find the ideal place for both of you.
Who are the coaches?
Our coaches are church members, and you have probably seen most of them somewhere else on a Sunday. Every one of them has been through the program themselves.
