How to be a LifeGroup Coach
4 Pillars of Coaching
![](/administration/chaplain/img/lifegroups/bible.jpg)
Modeling
The key practice of modeling is not about being perfect (Philippians 3:12-13) instead, LifeGroup Coaches authentically model the life-journey to which God calls us. Don’t downplay the effect your life and example have on small group leaders. What you do and how you live your life has a powerful impact. LifeGroup Coaches model Spirit-filled leadership just as Acts 6:1-7 shows us that the evidence of spirit-filled leadership is dependent upon 1) a faith firmly grounded in God’s Word, 2) a life showing solid character, 3) and a heart full of the Holy Spirit. LifeGroup Coaches also model spiritual fitness, holistic faith, and belonging in faith community.

Guiding
Effective shepherds are real, honest, and transparent - simply offering wisdom and counsel from their own experiences and personal relationship with God. No coach or mentor has every answer to every question. LifeGroup Coaches admit when they don’t know the answer to something and work with individuals to find a solution. LifeGroup Coaches cannot make people grow. Just as John 4 describes, it is God who makes the seed grow. LifeGroup Coaches are responsible for challenging, encouraging, providing, and supporting the opportunity for growth. LifeGroup Coaches are guides, not counselors. They know when to refer someone to see a chaplain or another spiritual counselor when the situation calls for it.

Envisioning
Vision gives meaning. It ensures that LifeGroups are about more than just Bible study, but about life-changing spiritual transformation. Vision creates hunger. When leaders recognize a gap between their skills and their desired vision which will cause them to seek out more training and coaching. Vision gives hope. LifeGroup Coaches journey alongside leader to help them craft a vision for their LifeGroup; clarify that vision through prayer, assessment, and experiences; and keep the vision alive when life threatens to crowd it out. LifeGroup Coaches continually remind their leaders of the vision, to ensure they don't wander aimlessly with no clear sense of purpose or direction.

Equipping
LifeGroup Coaches go much further beyond building relationships with their leaders.
They invest in the leadership of others by also developing their skills by:
- Affirming their gifts and abilities
- Discerning their growth areas
- Solving problems
- Learning together
- Teaching from experience and specific observations made during LifeGroup visitations
- Providing resources, materials, tools, and financial support
- Celebrating the success of their leaders
- And so much more!
