Personal Coaching
Put an experienced church-growth and ministry expert on your team today
After more than 40 years of helping churches and individuals thrive, I’m offering my experience and knowledge of what it takes to grow leaders, churches, and ministries available to you as I come alongside as a Ministry coach.
Although I’m most widely known as one of the pioneers and fathers of the modern Children’s Ministry movement, over the years I’ve also served as Student Pastor, Minister of Music, Christian Education Director, NextGen Pastor, Associate Pastor, School Administrator, and Executive Pastor. There aren’t any areas of ministry within the local church that I haven’t had the privilege of overseeing & leading.
Whether your current ministry size is less than 200 or more than 20,000 people strong, I’ve been there; and I understand the systems and processes it takes to make churches and staff grow to the next level.
I’ve been a part of more than 1 million square feet of building programs from planning stage to implementation, training, and staffing. I understand locating, training, and releasing both paid staff and volunteer teams, and I can coach you through these processes.
Because of the technology available today, there are four different coaching options you can choose from currently.
Our NEWEST form of Coaching is the NextGen Leader Lab. This online community is your direct connection to Jim Wideman and his Network of Coaches. Think Different Coaching Network brings together the wisdom and leadership of time tested leaders in NextGen ministries.
Through this network, you’ll have access to All of Jim’s Books, a host of articles written by Jim or one of the coaches, and the ability to chat and comment along with the coaches and other participants in the NextGen Leader Lab.
Think of this as a year long conference you attend from the comfort of your home or office. The relationships that you’ll build with other members and the coaching network, will give you the ability to grow all year long, and for a fraction of the cost of a 4-day conference.
This specialized community brings you directly to the source of the ministry and leadership wisdom you need to take the ministry you lead to the next level. Sign up for All Access today!

Let’s CONNECT, and discuss which one of these coaching options are best for you as well as when the next group will begin.
“Jim is a walking encyclopedia of information concerning ministry and management in the local church. Best known for his unique ability to recruit, train, and retain both employees and volunteers, Jim is a highly creative individual who meets challenges head-on. As one of America’s top leaders in the area of children’s ministry, his knowledge of daily operations in the local church is unmatched. I strongly recommend Jim Wideman as a consultant, coach, and speaker.”
“Before Jim Wideman stepped into my life, I was stressed out, working too many hours, achieving minimal results, and heading down the path of burnout. Jim showed me how to think different not only with my leadership and time management but also in my relationship with God and my wife. My church has seen multiplied growth, I’ve been promoted twice, and, because of Jim’s coaching, I feel equipped to handle even more. If you want to see the full potential of God released in your life, let Jim help.”
