COACHING STRUCTURE →

DIRECTIVE COACHES

• Coaches who interact with the Church Coaching Alliance primarily in a group format. Some of the roles & responsibilities of a Directive Coach are:
  1. Share teachings with the Church Coaching Alliance members during scheduled Phone Conference Meetings.
  2. Teach/preach during quarterly face-to-face meetings.
  3. Contribute writings and select resources to the On-line library
  4. Contribute writings to the monthly newsletter.
  5. Participating in Leadership Summits and other group activities.

ADVISORY COACHES

• An Advisory Coach functions in all the ways a Directive Coach would function, but contributes his/her time and experience in closer relationship with select ministries of the Church Coaching Alliance. Some of their additional roles and
  responsibilities are to:
  1. Be available by phone or in-person to respond to specific needs and questions of member-ministries. For example, if a member-ministry is about to launch a large initiative within their ministry and they need brief
     council or instruction, the Advisory Coach would be called upon to share and impart their experience and guidance with the member-ministry.
  2. Be available to come to the aid of a ministry crisis situation and help that ministry navigate through the crisis or challenge. (Extensive consultation may require extra fees and / or honorarium)
  3. Participate in special ministry projects to act as high-level counselors for a predetermined time-frame.
  4. Communicate directly with Bishop Mattera as to the nature and frequency of their advisory function with any and all CCC affiliates.

MENTOR COACHES (Future offering)

• In line with the Paul/Timothy mentoring model of leadership training exemplified in 2 Timothy 2:2, the Church Coaching Alliance believes the greatest impact on leadership will be achieved through a one-to-one model of leadership development.
• A Mentor Coach is the highest of involvement and commitment within the Church Coaching Alliance and may, but is not required to, perform all the services of a Directive Coach and an Advisory Coach.
• A Mentor Coach is someone who desires to impart their knowledge, experience, ministry, and mantel upon those members who qualify to benefit from this level of
  coaching.
1. A member of CCA must be found faithful to be entrusted with this level of leadership development and must demonstrate their commitment to the process.
• Mentoring relationships will be determined and established through prayer to discern the Lord’s will along with other criteria such as...
  1. The calling of the mentor and the call of the member.
  2. The gifting of the mentor and the gifting of the member.
  3. The experience of the mentor and the need of the member.
• The recommendation of Bishop Mattera will be the final step in the approval process
• A mentoring relationship is long-term in nature, and can result in a very intimate, Father-son type relationship.
• A Mentor Coach, as well as a member, must be prepared to be committed to one another and invest in one another’s lives to produce the desired results.
• CCC faculty will be responsible for tracking the progress, fruitfulness, and overall health of the mentoring relationship. (Each mentor will submit a quarterly written summation of their ministry to CCC members.)
  1. Personal development assessments will be utilized along with other tools to ensure the excellence and growth of the member being mentored.
  2. Policies will be implemented that lay out the conditions for a mentor or coach to be released from the mentoring relationship if needed.
