Become a Certified Christian Life Coach who is Confident, Ethical, and Spirit-Led.

The Christian Life Coach Certification (CLC) is a comprehensive, professional training programme that equips learners to coach with competence, confidence, and ethical clarity while honouring a Christian worldview.

Designed for aspiring and practising coaches who want to integrate spiritual formation with professional coaching excellence, this programme blends:

• evidence-based coaching frameworks
• biblically aligned principles
• emotional and somatic intelligence
• Holy Spirit-led discernment
• COMENSA-aligned Behavioural Standards Framework
• real-world, coach-ready tools

You will learn to support clients in a way that is Scripturally grounded, ethically safe, emotionally mature, and professionally non-directive.

What Makes This Certification Unique

This programme is not secular coaching with Scripture added on top.
It is a fully integrated Christian coaching system that unites:

✦ Faith-Based Wisdom

Biblical worldview, identity in Christ, Spirit–Soul–Body alignment, and spiritually attuned discernment.

✦ Professional Coaching Competence

Listening, questioning, presence, boundaries, and non-directive coaching aligned with COMENSA’s Behavioural Standards Framework.

✦ Ethical Clarity & Scope of Practice

You learn to coach without counselling, diagnosing, fixing, advising, or directing spiritually.
Instead, you empower clients to discern, choose, think, and act with ownership.

✦ Signature Transformation Frameworks

These proprietary tools give you a repeatable, reliable coaching methodology:

• The Empowerment Cycle (Faith Edition)
• The MindShift Accelerator Process (Faith Edition)
• The Identity Alignment Model
• The Spirit-Soul-Body Coaching Framework

Each was developed to facilitate real transformation while honouring Scripture, human agency, and coaching ethics.

Who This Certification Is For

This programme is ideal for:

• Aspiring Christian coaches
• Existing coaches wanting a faith-based specialisation
• Pastors, ministers, and small-group leaders
• Women’s ministry leaders
• Counsellors or mentors wanting coaching methods
• Individuals called to help others spiritually and emotionally
• Anyone wanting to start a Christian coaching practice or ministry

Whether you’re building a coaching business, supporting church members, or integrating coaching into ministry work, this certification equips you for it.

Programme Structure

Your training spans a guided 6-month learning journey, with 12 months (365 days) to complete all assessments, coaching sessions, and submissions.

The journey includes:

• 16 Christian coaching modules
• Reflective journaling
• Case studies
• Emotional and somatic awareness training
• Formative and Summative assessments
• Inner formation work
• 6 recorded coach-client sessions to demonstrate competency

These sessions ensure alignment with COMENSA’s Behavioural Standards Framework and prepare you to coach safely, professionally, and confidently.

The Transformation of the Coach Comes First

A defining feature of this programme is that it prioritises the inner transformation of the coach.

Before you guide clients through identity, emotion, behaviour, purpose, or alignment, you will walk through these processes personally.

You will strengthen your:

• identity in Christ
• emotional regulation
• biblical alignment
• ethical decision-making
• inner stability and discernment

This ensures you coach from maturity, integrity, and spiritual grounding.
