Research has proven that the greatest contributor to cell group success is the quality of coaching provided for cell group leaders. Many are serving in the position of a coach, but they don't fully understand what they are supposed to do in this position. Joel Comiskey has identified seven habits of great cell group coaches. These include:

• Receiving from God.

• Listening to the needs of the cell group leader.

• Encouraging the cell group leader.

• Caring for the multiple aspects of a leader's life.

• Developing the cell leader in various aspects of leadership.

• Strategize with the cell leader to create a plan.

• Challenging the cell leader to grow.

Practical insights on how to develop these seven habits are outlined in section one. Section two addresses how to polish your skills as a coach with instructions on diagnosing problems in a cell group, how to lead coaching meetings, and what to do when visiting a cell group meeting. This book will prepare you to be a great cell group coach, one who mentors, supports, and guides cell group leaders into great ministry.
