Ministry Formation and the TRAIN Workgroup promotes and provides resourcing for the SHIFT Coaching initiative. All CRCA pastors are encouraged to establish a coaching relationship for themselves where a series of questions can be intentionally and regularly discussed. This coaching relationship could be with a ministerial peer, an elder, a wise and mature member of the congregation, or in a professional relationship. Church Councils are also prompted to review their actions toward the professional development of their pastor(s).
