Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ephesians 4:8-13 KJV):

THE SPIRITUAL DYNAMICS OF THIS VISION   
 
 1.  To strengthen and bring harmony to The Body of Christ
We are the coming together of Christian leadership to provide healing, commitment and restoration to those who contribute the perfecting of The Body of Christ.
 
2. We are comprised of dutiful, experienced individuals whose primary quest is to bring harmony to The Body of Christ as a requisite in all matters of life.  We believe if there is a problem; the solution must be sought. And where struggle exist; than the goal is to reach and understanding without compromise. 
 
3. We believe that through encouraging caring personal interaction we can strengthen not only this community, but serve a conduit to take the gospel abroad.  And because this community is free from secular interference we can address without restrictions those things matters which are pertinent to Christian beliefs.
 
THE NATURAL OR PHYSICAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF THIS VISION
 
4. To act as a reservoir and a vital means of supply and demand. Our effort is to make available within our network common resources that will help  Christian Leaders navigate and replenish their churches.  These resources will generate not only from outside contributors, but from one to another.
 
5.  Offer a rest post to retired or disabled pastors that they make return to serve as a means of strengthening and enlightening.  This forum can provide retired and disabled clergy a means by which their experience can benefit others.  
 

SUMMATIVE PRELUDE

FOREASMUCH as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us (Luke 1:1). The COACH Network is a conglomerate of Christian clerics serving as a provisional relief to Christian Pastors. Because we are a faith contained organization that we are committed to the dedication of our callings, being humbly reserved to the dictates thereof. There are no secret agendas, nor are we proposed to using any other method of sorts for which to condition ourselves by this marvelous gospel other than to share the light of Christ with one another. It is to this end that we place such a high claim to our faith; knowing fully that He, that is to say, Christ Jesus shall perfect this work; making no show of HIMSELF except to glorify THE FATHER.

THEME: And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ; Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ephesians 4: 11-13 KJV).

MOTTO:  Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend (Proverbs 27:17 KJV).

 While we come from various backdrops, we yet have the same appointment. And as there is yet distinctions in our vocations; it is yet of the same Spirit. The COACH Network (C.O.A.C.H.) is a respite for the people of GOD. It is a work of The Spirit whose purpose is to nourish those that nourish; through a channel by which they may draw. Here at C.O.A.C.H. we believe that every responding pastor or clergy person has something to offer. In part, we are weak but together we are mighty.

We are an interactive program through which clergy, worldwide may express their concerns. The organization will allow them to not only encourage one anther but focus on pivotal needs of one another, that will ultimately strengthen the entire body of Christ.

THE COACH ADVANTAGE

The COACH Network is designed for practicing clergy having a heart towards GOD. Our vision speaks to the edification and up building of any licensed or ordained Christian cleric being in good standing; overseeing a congregation or under an authorized ecclesiastical government. This assembly is comprised of highly tailored clerics whose caliber gives way to the brand of integrity that exemplifies superiority of worth. Among whom sit mature men and women having come from various denominational and cultural backgrounds.

In holding firm to this standard of excellency our goal is to ignite harmony where it previously may not have existed. For this cause we deliberately shun matters of strife and futility. The themes brought to this table should notably be Christ like in content; prior to submission. In striving towards the masteries we engage exegesis which express and supportive the agenda outlined in our bi-laws. And this is to be exercised without argument or quarrel, as we are all adults.

Therefore the dialogue submitted to this forum should be limited to that good taste; being shameless. Remember that while all things are lawful they are not expedient (1Corinthisans 6:12). Please do not exchange dialogue that is private in nature, solicitous, provoking, sensuous or just plain devilish, as this will be refused. 

Note: Any Christian experienced lay ministers having a proven track record in ministry is also welcomed to be a part of this forum. However, this administration reserves the right to refuse any they deem to not to having alignment with this group. Thank you.

PROGRAM ENACTMENT

Preamble

Clergy Organized for the Advancement of Christian Heritage is as an internet awareness program purposed with the intent of supporting Christian clergy of any, denomination or position. As a pre-requisite the initial phrase of All about Coach was launched on several internet forums, and then developing into one, "Official "site. This provisional served as a medium through which those laboring in the faith could communicate their thoughts and hopefully advance onward to the internet portion of the program.

This construct acts as a social media site similar to LinkedIn, but has supplementary content. There will individuals are invited as guest, where they will receive a profile page to present themselves or their churches. During this time they are provided with an open forum from which to testify, share or make request.

Those seeking administrative roles in All about Coach should understand that this is strictly a volunteer Program. Volunteers are also asked to present their statement of faith before the administrative counsel.

Here at C.O.A.C. H. we regard the Ephesians 4:11 vocational to be that of integrity and faith. We believe that every responding pastor or clergy person has something to offer. In part, we are weak but together we are mighty. And while we come from various backdrops, we yet have the same appointment.  And as there is yet distinctions in our vocations; it is yet of the same Spirit. C.O.A.C.H is a respite for the people of GOD. It is a work of The Spirit whose purpose is to nourish those that nourish; through a channel by which they may draw. In keeping with this concept, we have developed this initiative as a means of acquiring support that ultimately bring us to a healthy mindset that The Body of Christ may flourish.

WHAT THIS ENDEAVOR DOES NOT OFFER

This program is not designed to substitute the income, responsibility, natural care individuals have to their families, neighbors or society as a whole.  It is only provisional in nature, and should be utilized as such.  While we propose to offer assistance, we do not in any way, shape or formula, have a know all, do all, mentality.                                                                                                                                                                              Whereas, this program has been enacted to serve as a provisional, it by no means proposes to replace the duty, attendance or requirements of the church, as mandated by Christ. Nor is it so cultishly designed to distract away from their ecclesiastical responsibilities.  Individuals participating in this program are free to walk away and discontinue in this program at anytime without experiencing repercussion from this organization, any staff member, or its affiliates.  Such offenses should be reported to our administration without delay.   As mentioned in this address, we only serve the purposes herein disclosed.  Any other services should be sought elsewhere.
