“Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths”.

What is Center for Christian Coaching?
Center for Christian Coaching (CCC) provides training and certification programs for those who are seeking to serve God by serving others as a Certified Christian Life Coach (C.C.L.C). Our programs are based on Christian values, biblical principles, and reflect what we learn from Jesus about the coaching process.
Jesus exemplified the skills of coaching through His communication with others. Focusing on this perspective brings enlightenment to the heart and soul for both the coach and the client.
At CCC we provide all the skills training, resources, and tools necessary to build a thriving coaching practice – all in a Christian training environment and based on faith in God and the truth of His Word.
