Imagine the world-wide, the kingdom-wide, the eternal impact of a movement of healthy churches reproducing themselves. Too good to be true? Not so. At CoachNet, we are well aware that seeing that dream realized requires intentional, one-church-at-a-time efforts. But we believe God can do amazing things. That's why we want to come alongside you-- to help you develop contextualized strategy that works in your ministry context. By working together, we can see your vision for growing healthy, reproducing churches become a reality.

We offer consulting to individual churches, to networks of churches, to districts and to entire denominations that want to improve the health of their churches.

Wouldn't it be great to have someone walk with your church on its journey toward revitalization and health? It's been proven over and over again that having a coach partner with a church through the NCD process easily doubles or even triples overall fruitfulness. CoachNet can link you to trained NCD coaches who can help you implement the NCD process. To find a coach click here.

CoachNet also offers you the opportunity to produce your own NCD coaches. Coach training delivered through a denominational structure is more than just another seminar brought to your leaders and soon left behind-- it carries the seeds that will help you produce the next generation of NCD coaches from within your own networks.

The CoachNet website provides vital resources for increasing church health and for implementing NCD in your church. A subscription to www.coachnet.org allows you access to thousands of pages of information, training material, coaching guides, worksheets, and other resources... all right at your fingertips.

CoachNet has developed coaching guides for each phase of the implementation process of Natural Church Development. These guides will walk you step-by-step through the process of leading your church toward improving your minimum factor. From the experience of hundreds of churches, we have developed the process, the handouts, and the presentations that will allow you to create your own unique path to church health. CompuCoach also has many coaching guides that relate to church health. Click here for a list of current CompuCoach coaching guides.

Many of our churches are not fulfilling their God-given callings. Instead, they find themselves in survival mode. While they desire to be obedient, certain barriers to health seem insurmountable and real fulfillment remains elusive. Yet by implementing the Natural Church Development (NCD) process, we've seen thousands of churches increase their effectiveness through improved church health.

NCD is a watershed movement, empowering leaders to discover new ways to increase church health and growth. Applying observable laws and paradigms of nature to the arena of church health, NCD can help strengthen your congregations as they learn how to better live out the vision, mission, and growth God has designed for them.
