Supporting Church Leaders to be Healthy & Effective in Ministry.
Leading a church today is both deeply meaningful and deeply challenging.
Pastors and ministry leaders often find themselves stretched—navigating complexity, carrying the weight of others, and making decisions with lasting impact, often without the support they need. Many leaders know something isn’t quite working, but don’t always have the tools, time, or perspective to move forward.
That’s where Partners in Ministry comes in.
We exist to serve and strengthen church leaders across Australia and New Zealand—helping them lead healthy, gospel-centred churches that flourish in their context. Working across denominations, we walk alongside pastors and leaders with practical, tailored support, shaped by real-world ministry experience.
Where do I start?
Coaching, mentoring, pastoral supervision, and more.
I’m a pastor in a denomination who requires professional supervision
I’m a church leader who’s looking for someone to walk alongside me in ministry, maybe as a coach, mentor, or pastoral supervisor
I need a confidential space to outwork the difficulties of ministry outside of my staff & team
I want to make sure I remain healthy in ministry so I can stay in it for the long haul.
Then this is the space for you. We offer coaching, mentoring, and pastoral supervision, creating space for leaders to reflect, grow, and stay grounded in the midst of ministry.
Church Health & Strategic Planning
I’d love a clear picture of where our church is healthy and where we have opportunities to grow.
I need confidence to know what the next best step is for us as a congregation.
I’d value someone to walk alongside us through this season, helping us reflect honestly and move forward wisely.
I want to think ahead—whether that’s succession, strategy, or strengthening the mission—but I’m not sure where to begin.
I’m looking for guidance that can help us focus, align, and grow stronger for the future.
If that resonates with you, this is the space for you. Through church health assessments, strategic consultancy, and planning, we help leaders gain assurance, clarify direction, and strengthen the mission of their church.
Growing your Leadership Capacity
Our volunteers need some training in specific areas
I’d love for someone to come run a workshop for our leadership team
I want to do a 360 review of my leadership capabilities
I’d love to learn more about how to grow my leadership ability & skills
Then this is the space for you. We equip leaders through targeted training and facilitated workshops to grow skill, confidence, and capability.

Our Vision for 2030
By the end of 2030, we'd love to be supporting 1,400 churches flourishing—each led by a pastor or minister who is healthy and effective.
We believe that when leaders are well equipped and encouraged, they can build churches shaped by a deep culture of discipleship, a passion for evangelism, strong generational ministry, and intentional leadership development.
This is our prayer and our purpose: to see leaders thrive so that churches can flourish.
If we want to have healthy churches, it is essential that we have healthy leaders. To me having mentoring and pastoral supervision from an independent and qualified practitioner is essential in helping to ensure that I am healthy. I really appreciate Partners in Ministry for providing this service.

Having a trusted Coach outside our organization has allowed me to offload my unfiltered feelings and frustrations in a safe and appropriate way and then also receive timely support, perspective, prayer and encouragement.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to draw on the expertise, skills, life and ministry experiences of my Pastoral Supervisor. This has been a very beneficial experience and has really added to my ministry and being accountable for goals I have set each year in regard to the ministry I have in my local church context. I would highly recommend Partners in Ministry to anyone who is looking for quality supervision and it is a worthwhile investment not only presently but also into the future.
