The Mission...

...TO CREATE AN INTERACTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL ALLOW INFORMAL TEACHING AND INTERFACE BETWEEN SEASONED NATIONAL AND LOCAL LEADERS AND PASTORS AND THEIR ASSOCIATES WHO DESIRE COACHING IN REGARDS TO THE SYSTEMIC DEVELOPMENT OF LEADERSHIP AND THEIR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE.

The Purpose

Christ Covenant Coalition has established the Church Coaching Alliance both to answer the apostolic mandate to advance the Kingdom of God through the establishment and edification of local Churches, and to respond to the leadership crisis found in the current state of Christendom.

Apostolic Kingdom Mandate
The local Church is the epicenter of God's plan upon earth. It is the Church which bears the mandate to preach the Kingdom of God, prevail over the gates of hell, and fulfill Christ's Great Commission. Healthy, effectual churches are the greatest agents of biblical reformation and societal transformation. Healthy, effectual Churches can only exist if they are led by strong, effective, well-trained leaders. Consequently, we hold the conviction that there exists a strong apostolic mandate to invest and dedicate all we can to the development and establishment of leadership which exemplifies the excellence of the Kingdom of God.

Current Leadership Crisis
Leadership has been under attack since Lucifer and his angels revolted against God's reign in heaven. Satan understands the critical nature of Christian leadership and is absolutely intent on targeting and destroying leaders in God's Church. This satanic focus, as well as human frailty, has resulted in a crisis in Church leadership throughout the world. (*Please see the description of "Crisis In Leadership" below). The Church Coaching Alliance is responding by connecting Christian Leaders together for mutual edification and ministry empowerment for Kingdom advancement.
