The Weight of Leading a Church is Real

You carry a vision for what your church could be. But between the daily demands and the long-term dream, the gap can feel overwhelming:

  • You want to plant a church but don't know if you're ready — or where to start.

  • Your church has plateaued, and you're not sure what needs to change.

  • You know multiplication is biblical, but the practical path is unclear.

  • You're doing this with limited resources and even less margin.

You weren't meant to figure this out alone. We've helped 13 churches get planted and dozens more find renewed health and momentum.

Two Paths. One Mission. Multiplying Healthy Churches

Churches We’ve Walked With

  • "Planting a church is tough enough but planting one specifically designed around all abilities is daunting. Not knowing where to run, I was pointed to Coram Deo. To this day, Coram Deo still provides me with valuable one-on-one coaching. We’re truly partners in this work."

    Dave VanderWoude - City Hope Church, Grand Rapids, MI

  • "Coram Deo’s administrative support has lifted a huge burden off our small, grassroots churches allowing us to focus on loving and serving the marginalized in our community. Through their leadership development programs, we're also being formed into servant leaders having courage, confidence and clear vision."

    Paula Seales - Kavod Fellowship, Grand Rapids, MI

  • "Three years ago I asked Dave Beelen to walk with me through a sabbatical time. Post sabbatical, we haven't stopped meeting. Why? It's been an invaluable connection for spiritual growth, support, prayer, and friendship."

    Mark Quist - Crestview Christian Reformed Church Pastor, Boulder, CO

  • "The Developing Local Leaders cohort is well done and a value add for every congregation!"

    Kent Landhuis - Pastor, Cedar Hills ARC

  • "Our Sex & the Gospel Cohort was much more than just a class on the biblical theology of sexuality. It was also a safe, supportive space for those of us who had come through the "heat of the battle" over human sexuality in our denomination feeling broken and disconnected. We were given opportunities to enrich our biblical understanding, deepen our compassion for those who struggle with their sexual brokenness and find healing and strength in God's presence and in fellowship with each other."

    Susan LeClear - Christian Reformed Church Pastor

  • "The Coram Deo Leadership Development cohort puts leadership development back in the front seat with tools to get it done."

    Clyde Teel - Pastor, Community Reformed ARC, Sioux Falls, SD

  • "The Generosity and Fundraising Course helped me feel equipped and excited for my donor meetings."

    Dirk Reitveld - Church Planter, Living Faith Ministries

  • "The Leader Development cohort helped us start developing young potential leaders in our congregation. The idea that discipleship leads to leadership was key, and we're currently challenging our elders to each apprentice a person with potential."

    Lowell Ernst - Ministry Leader Track, First Reformed Pella IA

  • "Coram Deo helped us define our mission, vision and values. They guided us through the legal maze of non-profit paperwork. They provided financial expertise to do our bookkeeping and mentored me in church planting. It’s hard to express all Coram Deo brings to the table for a church planter."

    Pam Otten - Renew Church, Sheboygan, WI

  • "Coram Deo's Leadership Development cohort rejuvenated our discipleship impact and led to visions of new ministries we could start."

    Pastor Jeremy Van Genderen - Kingdom Network Leader, Maurice Reformed Church
