Coaching and Spiritual Formation
for Worship Leaders

Ministry burnout is a bigger problem now than ever before.

For many worship leaders, the pressure of ministry has left them feeling exhausted, isolated, and on the verge of burnout. Conferences for building better teams or crafting creative set lists are numerous, but resources to strengthen the heart and soul of worship leaders are in short supply.

Many churches and her worship leaders have traded cultivating their hearts and souls, their culture and community, for imitative models and strategies that have actually left them feeling isolated. Recent studies have shown that pastoral leaders who care for so many, are often not being cared for themselves… so much so, that 81% don’t think they’ll be in ministry 10 years from now. There’s got to be a better way.

It’s time for
something new.

The Green Room is a 12-month, small-group coaching and spiritual formation cohort focusing on four key areas of leadership, designed to get you off the ministry treadmill for good, and back to a place of passion and vitality in worship ministry.

By working through four key factors of leadership—SOUL, HEART, MIND, STRENGTH - your time in The Green Room will help you rest in your acceptance, discern the move of the Holy Spirit in your life and ministry, gain a deeper understanding of your specific culture and community, and develop strategies that set you free from the treadmill of chasing Sunday after Sunday!

“The most important commandment is this: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.”

— JESUS
