World Race Coaches

Help disciple the next generation of passionate followers of Jesus!

World Race Coaches are volunteer couples who have raised children and have the life experience, spiritual maturity, emotional health, and time flexibility to invest in World Racers. They leverage their lifelong walk with Jesus to provide perspective, wisdom and spiritual oversight for the young adults on the squad and leadership team. Coaches model what it looks like to live a spirit-filled life as a healthy member and contributor in a Christ-centered community.
