GOSPEL COACHING

CTC SoCal believes that no one should plant a church alone! Alongside the training we offer church planters, we also provide one-on-one coaching with a CTC certified coach. These coaches bring a wealth of ministry experiences and have been trained to help planters find their own solutions and see more of Jesus. We believe coaching is a powerful tool in the success of a church plant and the health of the planter.

Each of our coaches have been handpicked to best fit our range of church planters and pastors. Each of our certified coaches have pastoral, ministerial, and Gospel-centered knowledge that benefit both planters and spouses.

City to City Coaching equips church planters and ministry leaders with the tools, support, and gospel-centered wisdom needed to thrive in urban ministry.

Transform Your Leadership. Multiply Your Impact.

Planting and leading a church is one of the most rewarding yet challenging callings. You face unique struggles—funding, team-building, contextualization, and personal spiritual health—all while carrying the weight of the mission.
Coaching provides a seasoned, objective partner to walk with you, helping you navigate obstacles, refine your vision, and sustain long-term impact.
Without coaching, many leaders:

Feel isolated and overwhelmed.
Struggle with burnout and discouragement.
Make costly missteps in leadership and strategy.

With City to City Coaching, you gain:
✅ A trusted advisor to help you think through challenges.
✅ Gospel-centered guidance to keep your heart anchored in Christ.
✅ Strategic insight to help you grow your church and develop leaders.
