VALWOOD Christian Leadership Coaching is a highly structured, biblically grounded process aimed at providing the tools to 21^st century Christian leaders to enable them to help congregations "be" and "do" those things to which God has called them.

The VALWOOD Christian Leadership Coaching certification process begins with your participation in an Introduction to Christian Leadership Coaching Learning Experience. This learning experience focuses on helping participants who work in situations of Christian leadership to experience coaching and discover ways to use it in their work. This course is offered as an online learning experience. Cost: $125 per person. 

Following the introductory experience, individuals with an interest in coaching are invited to continue with certification. To complete the certification process a participant must:

• Take part in a three-day Foundations of Christian Leadership Coaching Learning Experience.
• Attend a three-day Establishing A Dynamic Coaching Relationship Learning Experience.

(Note: Foundations and Establishing a Dynamic Coaching Relationship Learning Experience can be accomplished in one week at Hollifield, or can be done in separate weeks.)

• Participate in six mentoring sessions led by a professional coaching instructor. Usually these are conducted through telephone conversations.
• Coach an individual or congregation concurrent with the mentoring coaching sessions.
• Participate in three tele-classes on group coaching and skill enhancement.
• Complete annual continuing education requirements for ongoing coaching certification. (See Advanced for continuing education options.)

Summary: The total cost for initial certification for 2010 is $3,100 per person (the total cost for members of BSCNC affiliated congregations is $2,300 per person). The fee includes meals, refreshments, single room lodging, facility usage, certification leadership, and materials. For events at Hollifield the food and lodging coverage is from the beginning of each learning experience to the end. If it is necessary to arrive the night before or stay an additional night, lodging (and meals, if being served) can be purchased separately.
