COACHES MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT


City to City Japan coaching is an intentional Gospel Conversation with focused discussions about the church leader’s Relational, Personal, Missional and Spiritual life. The purpose of coaching is to help the coachee move forward and grow in ministry, maturity and ability. The agreement is for 24 sessions, for approximately 60 minutes each, beginning at the commencement date and renewable by mutual arrangement after 24 sessions. After the initial six sessions, if either the coach or coachee feels uncertain about the coaching relationship, changes can be made in discussion with the Director of Coaching or the Director of City to City Japan.

I, the coach agree to:

  1. Come to the session prepared, by praying about my role and agenda, and trusting that prayer undergirds each conversation.

  2. Be prepared to listen.

  3. Use the C.R.O.S.S model to provide structure, direction, and focus for each meeting.

  4. Be honest about the issues that I see, and suggest outside resources as needed to support and encourage the church planter.

  5. Provide freedom for the church planter to make decisions and support the decisions he makes.

  6. Give sufficient time for warning (24hrs) if I am unable to attend an agreed session.

  7. Agree that a coaching session will occasionally be recorded, or occasionally the coaching director or person assigned by CTCJapan will attend for the purpose of improving the gospel-centered coaching.

  8. Seek to embody the CTCJ values of a gospel-centred DNA as outlined in the Theological Core and Ethics Statement.

If a coachee has serious ethical or moral concerns which become apparent, I agree to:

  1. report these issues to the Director of Coaching or the Director of City to City Japan, whilst maintaining a coaching relationship as much as possible and as permitted by the governing church or organisational body of authority.

  2. In the case of unsafe practices, such as the ill treatment of others, including children and elders, I will report to the relevant authorities.

If, for any reason, I wish to discontinue the coaching relationship I will contact the Director of Coaching or the Director of City to City Japan.
