Ministry Coaching Made Personal

If philosophies are universal, then methods are contextual. Leaders often find it hard to bridge the gap from philosophical to contextual. A Church Answers coach is here to help you take big ideas and apply them practically in your context.

  • “Church Answers is without a doubt the best money I have ever spent in ministry. It’s like having an ongoing seminary class in practical ministry, but it’s interesting. The up-to-date information given by Thom and the Church Answers team is unmatched, and isn’t just aimed at megachurches. For a small church pastor, this is exceptional!”

    Josh White
    Pastor, North Carolina
  • “Church Answers has been an invaluable source of practical help from others who have walked the same path of church revitalization, upon which I believe God has placed me.  Having a safe place to ask for advice, feedback, and coaching has helped me to confidently move forward in leading our church to become a satellite campus of a larger, healthier church.  But most important is the sense of community I experience at Church Answers. Thanks to Church Answers, I now know that I am neither alone, abnormal, nor insane!”
