All of our coaches have been trained by an International Coach Federation (ICF) Associate Certified Coach who has been developed as a Coach Trainer for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Each of our coaches has passed a development process called ELCA Coach Training Launch and are, at least what we call in the ELCA, a Level 1 Coach. Level 2 Coaches have additional training in specialty areas such as leadership, discipleship, congregational development, and congregational redevelopment. Some of our coaches in the NT-NL Synod are working on professional credentialing through the ICF.
