Care Coaches Training

As a Care Coach, you’ll walk alongside people facing life’s toughest moments—grief, divorce, and broken relationships—offering the compassion and hope they need to heal. Your caring heart and listening ear could be exactly what helps someone move from pain to purpose. It’s more than volunteering—it’s answering Jesus’ call to love others through their darkest times and watching God use you to bring light into their world!

Join our 3-week Care Coach Training beginning August 5.
