You Don’t Have to Carry it Alone

Ministry coaching is coming alongside you as a coach to encourage, equip, and empower you. By listening well and asking good questions we will walk with you through a process of self-discovery in an effort to help you succeed. We process through this in three areas: Identify – Bearing the Burden; Planning – Heading to your Destination; and Lifestyle – Enjoying the Ride.

Testimonials

“Steve and his team at Keys Vineyard Church have built a church that has done an inspiring job reaching their community. Steve is a treasure trove of experience and has continued to prioritize learning and growth throughout his more than 30 years of ministry in a way few pastors have. You’ll get a lot out of connecting with him!”

Putty Puman Phd

Pastor, Author (Live Like Jesus, Kingdom Impact), Founder of the School of Kingdom Ministry.

“I watched first hand as Steve experienced the devastation of hurricane Irma in his town of Big Pine Key, Florida. The town was destroyed, the church building rendered unusable and the staff impacted personally. I watched a leader rise to the need of his community and minister in a situation that not very many could. He has a powerful voice of experience and wisdom earned the hard way.”

David Speicher PhD, DMin.

Lead pastor of South Bay Church, Tampa , Fl., Author of “Not Many Days From Now”

“Steve Lawes is a valuable coach/ mentor. I’ve watched Steve over the last thirty years build a substantial outward focused church with disciples who do what Jesus did. He has inspired leaders of churches with simple/tested ideas to develop leaders and grow churches.
