Why Your Ministry Should Consider Coaching

Engaging Josh Teis as a pastoral coach is an investment in pastoral health, leadership clarity, and long-term congregational flourishing. Josh planted Southern Hills Church in Las Vegas in 2004 and, over the past 21 years, has led the ministry from a small group to a thriving congregation of more than 1,500 in weekly attendance. This depth of experience—including staff development, governance restructuring, multi-service expansion, and ministry systems building—gives him a seasoned, real-world perspective that is uniquely valuable to pastors navigating both growth opportunities and ministry challenges.

This coaching relationship equips the pastor to lead with greater strategic focus and organizational wisdom. Drawing from his two decades of senior pastor leadership, Josh helps churches clarify mission, strengthen staff culture, refine discipleship pathways, and implement healthy governance and communication rhythms. Instead of trial-and-error decision-making, the pastor receives guidance from someone who has successfully walked through the very transitions, growth barriers, and organizational complexities that many churches face. This reduces costly missteps and increases stewardship of the church’s financial and relational resources.

Finally, investing in pastoral coaching is a proactive commitment to the long-term stability of the church. A healthier, better-equipped pastor leads to a healthier congregation. Josh’s coaching not only strengthens the senior leader but also enhances team alignment, improves decision-making, and supports a church culture where energy is spent on ministry rather than managing avoidable problems. This is not merely professional development—it’s an investment in the spiritual, organizational, and missional vitality of the church for years to come.
