About Center for Christian Coaching
What is CCC?
Center for Christian Coaching (CCC) provides training and certification paths for those who are seeking to serve God by serving others as a Certified Christian Life Coach (C.C.L.C). CCC is based on Christian values, biblical principles, and reflects 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. You can learn more about what sets us apart from other coaching programs.
