Do More Good by Helping Others

Ordination Program

Are You Called to Become an Ordained Life Coach Minister?

Do you love helping people grow, overcome obstacles, and walk more closely with God? Do people naturally come to you for encouragement, guidance, prayer, and practical wisdom?

The Life Coach Minister Ordination Pathway is designed for Christians who feel called to help others take meaningful next steps in life while glorifying God. This ministry combines biblical encouragement, practical coaching skills, spiritual discernment, and Christian leadership.

A Life Coach Minister is not a therapist, counselor, or fixer. Instead, a Life Coach Minister listens well, asks thoughtful questions, encourages faith-filled action, and helps people move forward spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and practically.

Where Life Coach Ministers Can Serve

Ordained Life Coach Ministers may serve in:

Local churches and ministry settings
Soul Centers or community-based ministry hubs
Christian coaching ministries or nonprofits
Discipleship and spiritual growth settings
Marriage, family, youth, recovery, leadership, and life-purpose ministries
Online or in-person coaching conversations

This pathway is especially helpful for volunteer and part-time ministers who want flexible, practical, and spiritually grounded training.
