Sample Coaching Session

Don Eisenhauer, MCC coaches Bunny

"Don't miss the chance to do ELCA stewardship coaching training! The curriculum gave me practical tools for coaching people in stewardship and generosity. The cohort experience was a fantastic real-life way to immediately use what I learned from the curriculum resources. Our cohort leaders helped us integrate stewardship resources with coaching best practices. The overall experience was supportive, enlightening and fun! I'm a better coach and steward leaders for having done this training." - Rev. Lisa Smith Fiegel, Director for Evangelical Mission, Alaska Synod
