Coaching
A free, virtual group coaching experience to help you renew your parish—and your hope.
You're not alone.
But as a priest, it can certainly feel like it.
It can be and it will. We’ll show you how.

Imagine a faith community where...
- Hurting people discover how deeply God desires a relationship with them.
- Young families bring new energy and excitement to the parish.
- We feel welcome, known, and loved—and can't wait to invite others to experience the same.
- Vibrant worship experiences draw new people to Jesus.
- We work together to bring healing to our broken world.
- All of us have opportunities to unleash our gifts and talents for Kingdom purposes.
Unlock radical change in your parish.
Although every parish is unique, three keys have transformed hundreds of them.

The Power of the Holy Spirit
By creating a culture of prayer,
we tap into the power of the Holy Spirit—

more people get to encounter Jesus—
and our parishes grow.

The Best of Leadership

Divine Renovation is a donor-funded ministry.
Money should never be a barrier to the pursuit of renewal. Thanks to our generous supporters, we’re able to come alongside priests and parishes at no charge.
Our coaches have been there and done that.
You don't have to go it alone.
The Divine Renovation team includes congregants, lay leaders, pastors, and priests who’ve been right where you are: longing for more for the Church but unsure how to get there.
Following Fr. James Mallon’s groundbreaking model established in his book, Divine Renovation, we’ve come to understand what’s necessary to turn parishes around. And since 2016, we’ve shared our experience with church leaders all over the world so they can bring their parish from maintenance to mission.
We can’t wait to see what God does through your church.

Divine Renovation
Bringing hope to priests, life to parishes, and people to Jesus.
But will this work for my parish?
And other common questions...
There’s no question every parish is unique. But the foundational principles we address in coaching have transformed all sorts of churches all around the world. This is not a one-size, fits-all approach. Your coach will be a valuable resource as you apply what you learn in your context.
You’ll be connected with a cohort of brother priests from around the world who share your heart for real, lasting change.
There’s no catch. God told us to stop charging parishes, so we did. Generous donors stand in the gap to ensure coaching is accessible to every priest who desires it.
There is no quick-fix for turning around the super-tanker that is church decline. What we’ll share with you takes time—which is all the more reason to start now. People need Jesus more than ever.
We know your do-to list is overflowing. Coaching will help you figure out how to re-prioritize your activities so you can focus on what truly matters to your parish. You don’t have time not to engage in this opportunity.
You may continue your group-coaching experience beyond the initial 12-week program. Depending on where you are in your journey of parish renewal, we offer a variety of coaching experiences to help your parish move from maintenance to mission.
We extend an invitation to 1:1 coaching for parishes with successful Alpha programs.
