In many ways it has never been more challenging to supervise others in a Christian ministry environment. Many of us who have positions of line management responsibility have never been taught best practice on how to structure these relationships, the questions we should be asking and how to we hold the balance between productive goal setting and pastoral care. This course applies Gospel Coaching principles to help supervision relationships thrive in whatever context they are in. This course offers a tool box of practical skills and techniques to support the principles of a Gospel Shaped supervision of relationships, leading to confidence in this vital leadership role.
