Become a Certified Shepherd Coach / A.D.
“When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching (COACHING) them many things.”- [Mark 6:34 NIV]
If you’re a Christian coach or athletic director who wants to make your life and your sports teams count for God’s Kingdom, becoming a Certified Shepherd Coach / A.D. could be the right choice for you.
This certification course is ideal for coaches and athletic directors of any sport at every level. It is also great for parents, guardians & grandparents who want to “Disciple” their children/grandchildren through participating in sports. Upon completion of the basic 7 step WINNING Discipleship Program Certification, you will have a better understanding of what it means to be a “Coach of Discipleship” and lead like the Chief Shepherd, Jesus.
“Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.”-
