FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why are you doing a coaching network? Church planters are constantly calling us, wanting to learn (and I am honored and blown away by that). But I don’t have time to meet with everyone like I used to.  We’re going to cover the stuff that you can’t learn from books and conferences.  Ask around…successful church planters will tell you that coaching is essential.

Why does it cost money? There is some cost associated with the materials and lunch and such. I also wanted to filter out all the whiny church planters who are always looking for handouts, so we set the price at $600.  That’s the price for all six sessions.

Why doesn’t it cost more? There are networks that literally cost thousands of dollars (and some of them are internet video based). I wanted there to be a cost to cover the expenses and make it meaningful, but I don’t want to make it out of reach.  The whole idea is to help people!  And some scholarships are available.

How do I join? You need to apply.  Because it’s only effective with a small group, the group size is limited to 15 people.  You can get an application from Tracy.
