It’s not news that many pastors and church leaders are tired, disillusioned, feeling powerless over their own schedule, disconnected from their former vision or purpose and spiritually drained.
Jen Kunka has served the Montana Synod ELCA for 15 years as the director of the synod’s continuing education ministry. Throughout these years, she’s witnessed the joys and difficulties of church leadership. She’s also witnessed hope.
The process of coaching is part of that hope. Coaching is a partnership that supports pastors and church leaders as they grow into new ways of living out their call to ministry. Coaching helps leaders take steps toward creating work/life balance, encourages those seeking to renew their spiritual life and offers a thought-partner for talking through challenging situations.
As a coach, Jen provides confidential listening. She will also be a witness to your grief, a partner in change and a support as you move toward becoming more fully who you already are: beloved by God and desperately needed in this hurting world.
