The Journal of Christian Coaching is a highly-professional print publication that resources Christian coaches with the best articles and information within the industry, coming from an array of qualified leaders and communicators. We envision the Journal as a means of promoting dialog and collaboration within the Christian coaching movement to enhance community within and build credibility without.

Prime readers of the Journal include Christian coaches, coach trainers, therapists with a coaching approach, and pastors and leaders in progressive churches and other organizations. The typical reader is 30 to 50 years old, ~60% are female, and most are well-educated and established in their faith.

Editorial content will be tagged to one of two tracks: Professional Coaching or Organizational Leadership. Please gear your submission toward one of those two audiences.

We’re looking for creative, original thinking, presented in a warm, energetic manner. Articles should be practical and engaging, intelligent but not stuffy, reflective of a Christian worldview but not preachy. We expect articles to reflect an accurate understanding of coaching methodology, as conveyed by the International Coach Federation. Finally, we’re looking for a gracious, unifying spirit that refrains from criticism and divisiveness. Inspire us!
