CAST is a series of two-day trainings developed specifically to teach the coach approach to ministry to denominational leaders and pastors. The training can be completed over nine months and results in the "Coach Approach Certificate Of Proficiency. Using the accompanying 50-page manuals participants learn the five basic skills of coaching, advanced coaching skills, followed by group coaching skills. Participants come away with the skills to lead with a "coach approach" in their context for ministry and to effectively do "peer coaching". This training is highly participatory with heavy emphasis on the integration and practice of each skill.  See the Coach Skill Training tab in the header above for more details.
