Healthy Pastors Lead Healthy Churches
& Healthy Churches Change the World!
The Great Lakes Region aims to invest in the inner lives of pastors, both spiritually and emotionally, so they can thrive in their unique ministry contexts as they go after our collective mission to seek and save the lost through Jesus.
We have created a NEW partnership with Converge Coaching and MyCounselor.Online. These programs offer each senior pastor opportunities for growth, accountability, and support in the realms of soul care, personal development, and mental wellness.
Converge Coaching
Converge Coaching exists to promote a working model that enables a leader to be effective in their role while maintaining health in their personal life. The model promotes a foundationally sound approach to mental/emotional health, to proper boundary-setting in terms of relationships and schedule, and the priority of a leader’s family over work by evaluating the following 7 areas.
Vision, strategy, values, wins, people, culture, and Sunday services
MyCounselor.Online
MyCounselor.Online is a faith-based group of counselors in Neuroscience-Informed Therapy, providing both support and resources.
- Discover what is holding you back AND what to do about it
