Tony Stoltzfus - Christian Leadership Coach

As a pastor or ministry leader, you walk alongside many others, helping them grow, meet God in their circumstances, and live fully for Christ. Who is walking with you?

An experienced ministry coach can be the friend, confidant, sounding board—and spur to action!—you need to rise to the next level. As a coach, I can help you get focused, establish a healthy balance between ministry and the rest of life, launch your church in new directions, live a dream or conquer a thorny habit. You'll find that an authentic, accountable relationship with a coach who believes in you will enable you to do things you never could on your own. Don't waste another minute trying to live the call all by yourself: get a coach!

I offer a variety of coaching packages depending on your needs and what you wish to work on. I also offer a special discount rate for full time ministry workers.

I believe that our greatest impact in ministry comes where Christ has most greatly impacted us. While I coach pastors and leaders in a wide variety of areas, I particularly love working in places where I've passed through my own fires and failures and met God. Here are several of my favorites:

Engaging God's purposes for inner growth in wilderness seasons, difficult circumstances or unjust situations.
Retooling yourself in leadership transitions to move to a new level of effectiveness
Coaching senior leaders to move into convergent roles that maximize their impact in the latter stages of life.
Staying focused and leading a balanced, healthy life.
Finding new clarity on your gifting, personality, calling and developmental stage as a leader.
