Identity & Purpose Coach Training is designed for those in ministry who desire more tools in their ministry toolbox. Whether you serve in a parish, lead small groups, work in campus ministry, or simply find people regularly coming to you for guidance, this training equips you with practical coaching skills and resources to elevate your walk with others.
The role of an Identity & Purpose Coach is clear, to help people discover who they are and discern their God-given calling. With our BECOME and IGNITE group studies as the roadmap and your coaching skills to deepen the experience, you gain a practical, relational offering to grow on-fire missionary disciples.
Discover how Identity & Purpose Coach (IPC) Training can equip you to better accompany others in ministry and help them discern who God created them to be.
Inside the brochure, you’ll discover:
This is not just another program’s approach to ministry. As an Identity & Purpose Coach, your listening, coaching, and relational skills are the essential ingredients that till the soil for true transformation for your BECOME and IGNITE participants.
Teachers build understanding and form the intellect. Coaches help you apply it so your faith moves from knowledge into real life.
Learn how to engage and reach new people using our free Temperaments Assessment and resources that grow their self-awareness, help them claim their talents, and prime them for a personal encounter with Christ.
Learn how to use our Prayer Language Assessment and guided-prayer resources to help others discover simple, personalized, and practical ways to help others listen for God’s voice, trust that He is really speaking to them, and get excited to pray more.
Behind many Catholics who drift away or feel lukewarm is a crisis of identity and purpose. This training equips you to get to the heart of the matter and help people rediscover who God made them to be and why they’re here.
No need to reinvent the wheel. We give not one, but two multi-week group and individual study programs, called Ignite and Become. We also give you additional resources and simple workshops on exploring temperaments and unique Identity & Purpose.
Identity & Purpose Coach Training includes sixteen live lesson videos that walk you through the full Catholic coaching framework, along with a certificate of completion once you finish the program. You’ll also receive the full Group Study Facilitator Materials for our IGNITE (12-weeks) and BECOME (9-weeks) series, our two programs to help others discover and activate their Identity & Purpose in Christ.
Participants also gain access to ongoing group coaching and strategy calls, a six-month trial inside the Catholic Coach Academy for additional coaching support, and workshop training on temperaments and discovering identity and purpose.
Finally, if you decide to continue your formation, you can apply the full cost of your Identity & Purpose Coach Training toward a future Catholic Mindset Coach Certification (our advanced Catholic coach training for professionals) cohort within one year.

What is the Identity & Purpose Coach Training?
The Identity & Purpose Coach Training is a live, guided program designed to equip you with the skills and framework to accompany others in discovering and living their God-given Identity & Purpose. You’ll learn how to coach, pray with, and lead others to clarity—starting with your own Identity & Purpose.
How is this different from other coaching programs?
Most coaching programs focus on personal development or professional growth. Identity & Purpose Coach Training is different. It’s a Catholic, prayer-driven, and practical formation program that teaches you how to help others discern their unique Identity & Purpose, and live it. It’s about identity, mission, and real transformation.
Do I need to be a professional coach to join?
Nope. This training is designed for leaders, mentors, ministry professionals, parents, or anyone who wants to accompany others in discovering their God-given Identity & Purpose. You don’t need coaching experience, just a desire to help people live fully alive.
How much time will this training take?
The Identity & Purpose Coach training is designed to deliver what you need in the 90-minute sessions with little work outside of class times.
Our coaches tend to budget an additional 30-60 minutes each week to occasional assignments or attending optional group coaching sessions.
