Coaching in Discipleship
Intentional Discipleship Group Coaching
Coaching cohorts are not workshops or seminars. While some content will be introduced throughout the coaching cohorts the primary purpose is to immediately implement the discipleship dimensions in personal practice and within the local ministry context. Participants should be prepared to give attention to the discipleship practices between sessions. Learning and growth takes place through practice and reflection.
For more information about the intentional discipleship framework visit www.inumc.org/discipleship. For other questions please contact R.C. Muhlbaier at robert.muhlbaier@inumc.org.

Discipleship Pathway
The Indiana Conference is has been developing a network of trained coaches who can serve as resource for clergy and laity within the conference. Coaches come alongside individuals and teams to help them achieve the goals they have set for themselves. The coaches listed below have all been trained in accredited coach training programs and are specifically interested in coaching clergy and lay leadership in the area of discipleship. Mission, vision, knowledge, and experience all come together in a coaching experience. A coaching relationship is always client driven. The coach helps to unlock and focus the expertise the client already possesses and provides accountability for moving forward toward achieving the client’s goals. Coaching is an extraordinary resource for developing and implementing a discipleship pathway or a specific areas of support for growing disciples.
