ELCA Coaching is a ministry of accompaniment and encouragement. Through this lens, we piloted two support groups across multiple synods in 2023 and are ready to expand this offering in anticipation of an even more polarized landscape in 2024.

This is a cohort-based program designed to support the holistic well-being of leaders across the Church, similar to grief support groups. These groups will require registration (with no financial cost to participants) and a 1-hour commitment each week for 6 weeks.

ELCA Coaching will provide two ICF-accredited and professionally-certified grief and loss coaches per support group. For this group, those coaches will be Jill Beverlin, PCC, and Jason O'Neill, PCC.

Each group will be limited to 12 people. Based on demand, we may bring in additional professional coaches and/or use multiple formats to support more people.
