Harry Fritzenschaft

What do I love about coaching?

The thing I love about coaching is partnering with pastoral leaders and transforming their thoughts into achievable goals! I also love developing coaches and coaching networks to serve missional leaders.

Training and real-world coaching experience has helped me to develop a coaching mindset that enables me to serve others best by guiding them to figure out what the Holy Spirit has gifted and called them to accomplish. In the past, I have coached pastoral and missional leaders, and trained new coaches—and would love the opportunity to coach you!

When I'm not coaching or training coaches, I love to travel with friends and family to new places and eat and drink new things.

What do I bring to coaching?

I  currently serve as the Coaching Specialist for Multiply Vineyard and have spent extensive time training as a coach through Logan Leadership, International Coaching, Creative Results Management, and Oxford Brookes University. I have been coaching for Multiply Vineyard since 2013, and have coached for Vineyard UK/IRE, VUSA, and Flourishing Leaders.

What do I love about coaching?

I love that I get to partner with what the Holy Spirit is doing to work in the coachee. I get to see their light bulbs come on and see them work through their questions. I don't have to have the answers, but God always shows up!

Being trained as a coach has given me a new perspective on the value of asking the right questions, and being intentional about letting those questions do what they are intended to do.

When I’m not coaching I love to play pickleball, read on my swing, take walks, play games and enjoy time with my husband, grown kids, grandkids, and friends.

What do I bring to coaching?

I was trained through Multiply Vineyard Laser Coaching. I planted a church 5 years ago. Before that, I ministered in numerous capacities with a large church and have done all sorts of mentoring, counseling, and coaching for about 14 years. 

I have a heart for worship leaders and potential church planters/missionaries. I'm passionate about doing what I see the Father doing! I love to visioneer and put strategies in place for successful ministries. I love the church, the Vineyard, worship, compassion ministries, evangelism and young people.

Associate Pastor, Mission Vineyard, San Antonio, TX

Herschel Rosser

What do I love about coaching?

What I love about coaching is accompanying people on the journey of discovering and applying their own solutions to challenges in their lives and ministries. I am passionate about mentoring younger leaders, participating in the spiritual formation of leaders, church planting, teaching and preaching, and prayer. 

Coach training helped me frame effective questions for my own life and ministry, and sharpened my focus for positive outcomes. This skill has proven valuable as I have had the privilege of coaching church planters, pastors, church leaders, and apprentice leaders.

When I’m not coaching, I love hiking, gardening, playing with grandkids, hanging out with friends, watching movies and detective shows, and reading.

Becky Waugman

Becky Waugaman

Associate Pastor of Kids and Youth, Des Moines Vineyard, Des Moines, IA

Becky Waugaman​

What do I love about coaching?

I love how coaching brings the natural and supernatural together - helping us to join God and where he is at work. It’s a safe space to process the many demands of life, get our thoughts clear, and be intentional with taking the next steps in personal development and organizational growth.   “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work…” Philippians 1:6a

Coach training has helped me grow in the art of being present with myself, others, and life in general. In practicing presence, it naturally allows me to be more engaged and fruitful. It’s grown my self-awareness so that I can be wise in decision-making and lead more confidently. It also has revealed the common pitfalls that tend to hijack creative and productive living. 

When I’m not coaching I love to spend time in the great outdoors, staying active, and wasting time with family and friends. 

What do I bring to coaching?

I received coaching training through Coach Approach Ministries and have coached through my own organization, Living In Sync, as well as Flourishing Leaders, Multiply Vineyard, and Moxy Coaching

I have coached a variety of people, life stages, transitions and goals. Church planters, pastors, business professionals, entrepreneurs. I have coached those pursuing a lifestyle change, career change, more work-life balance, leadership development, church/business growth.  I am passionate about pastors and have a sweet spot in my heart for women leaders.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Relational Dynamics of Leadership
  • Managing Stress

My favorite part of coaching is helping people reach their life goals and make progress in areas they have not been able to breakthrough before.

When I am not coaching I spend time outdoors and reading, but family time is what I cherish the most—with my wife, Trisha, and my two adult children.

What do I bring to coaching?

I was trained in Logan Leadership through Multiply Vineyard and have coached with Multiply Vineyard, Flourishing Leaders, and Lily Wellness Retreat.

Jane Yamaguchi

Adoption Ministry Coordinator, Canyon View Vineyard Church, Grand Junction, CO

What do I love about coaching?

My favorite part of coaching is watching how the Holy Spirit guides and directs coachees once they are asked the right questions. Through coaching I have learned how to listen more effectively and ask better questions.

I am passionate about adoption, life & ministry transitions, balancing schedules, and holistic health (spiritual, mental and physical). Through these passions and my coaching training I have coached friends, church planters and people in transition.

When I’m not coaching I enjoy outdoor activities—biking, hiking, camping, skiing, and gardening. I love working out and staying physically fit. I love family get-togethers, my grandkids and raising puppies!

Clint Schwartz

Lead Pastor at Lighthouse Vineyard Church, Elkhart, IN

Clint Schwartz

What do I love about coaching?

I love helping people work through their challenges and come up with an attainable action plan. It's great to see individuals making progress towards their goals, and find that helping people work through problems is very rewarding to me!

I have mentored individuals for most of my career, but coaching has brought an aspect of assisting others that I haven't used in the past. I am passionate about Evangelism, Outreach, Missions, Young Adults & Worship, and so much more!

When I’m not helping coach people through problems and challenges, I really enjoy backpacking and canoeing and pretty much any time I can get outside into God's country.

What do I bring to coaching?

I was trained through the Vineyard in early 2021 and am new to the coaching process. My experience in coaching has been mostly with church planters, however, when I was an Executive Pastor I spent a lot of time mentoring/coaching staff members.

Rick Colquhoun

Founding pastor, Vineyard Community Church, Cohoes, NY

Rick Colquhoun

What do I love about coaching?

As a pastor for over 35 years, I have always loved helping individuals to grow into their destiny. I had a “Barnabus” in my life, and I want to be a "son of encouragement" as well. 

My training as a coach has helped me to become a much better listener and to trust the Holy Spirit's voice in guiding sessions. I have been privileged to coach potential church planters, senior pastors, area pastors, and an internationally known worship leader. I have also coached clients wanting to start a real estate investment business (which I now do part time).

When I’m not coaching, my wife and I  love to travel to visit our 4 adult kids and 4 grandkids. I also play golf several times a week.

What do I bring to coaching?

I attended a Vineyard/Logan coach training in Columbus OH. I worked with the Vineyard's Health Church Task Force for 4 years and started PRAXIS Coaching to work with other clients 7 years ago.

I have always been passionate about church planting, and I absolutely love coaching.

Donna Ackermann

Church Planter, Vineyard Longmont, Longmont, CO

Donna Ackermann​

What do I love about coaching?

I love coming alongside someone as they discover tools and answers they didn't even know they had! And, seeing God give encouragement to those on the front lines.

I'm a church planter for the second time, and I often stop and "coach" myself, my husband and our interns. Being formally trained as a coach has taught me to learn to ask questions in the middle of chaos or just in the middle of life—a great skill to have!  Also, learning to listen and repeat back what's being said has been so valuable.  

When I’m not coaching I enjoy cooking international food, playing guitar, binge-watching TV series’ like The Voice, or spending time with family.

What do I bring to coaching?

I was recently trained through Multiply Vineyard Laser Coaching, but have over 30 years of ministry experience. I have coached a church planter and a young adult working through life transition.

My ministry passions are worship, interns, communications, administration, events, starting ministries & church plants, families, Hispanics/internationals (I speak some Spanish and German)—and I would love the opportunity to coach you in any area you are passionate about!

Areas of Expertise:

  • Fundraising and Finances
  • Managing Stress
  • Priorities and Planning

Dan Motz

Lead Pastor, Mountain Coast Vineyard, Anchorage, Alaska

Dan Motz

What do you love about coaching? 

I love coming alongside people and stepping into their stories. I love engaging in conversations and asking questions that allow people to unpack their situations and thoughts. I love the process of guided discovery and there's nothing better than participating in an "ah-ha" moment.

When I’m not coaching, I like to hike, fish, bike, snowboard, play guitar, listen to music, and pray.

What do I bring to coaching?

I’ve been trained through the Vineyard Coaching Program. My training with the Vineyard has helped understand the nuance between coaching, mentoring and pastoring. It has really helped me fine-tune my listening skills with both the Spirit and the other person. I think my favorite thing about my training is growing in discerning the difference between the person and the issue people are working through. 

I love the process of discipleship, especially in a small group context. I find great joy watching people connecting with Jesus and seeing their faith grow.

Jeri Howe

Pastor, Lakeshore Vineyard Church, Holland, MI

Jeri Howe​

What do I love about coaching?

I love affirming how God has designed each individual uniquely and helping people discover not what sounds good or what works for other people, but what works for them, honoring how God has uniquely made them.

Coaching training has helped me become a better listener. It has also opened my eyes to the fact that one solution does not fit all and that the person who has to execute the solution needs to be part of formulating the plan of action.

When I’m not coaching I love to play guitar, sing, watch movies, walk, bike for ice cream, learn new things, and travel.

Jeri Heilmann

Jeri Heilmann

Pastor, Vineyard Altoona, Altoona, PA

Jeri Heilmann

What do you love about coaching? 

The thing that I love about coaching is that I get to partner with the coachee and the Holy Spirit to help the coachee get unstuck, and receive revelation. It often feels like a holy space as we unpack and explore their thinking together. Also, I personally love bringing vision to bear in action, so it feels really good to be part of that process with someone. Coaching has helped me in all areas of my life. It has helped me step back, listen well, ask questions and help other people come to solutions for themselves. It also has grown my faith as I have watched God reveal things to people that they couldn’t see before.

When I’m not coaching, I love spending time with my family, perfecting my sourdough technique, thrift shopping, creating functional art, watching the sunrise

What do I bring to coaching?

I have received coaching training through Emotionally Focused and Multiply Vineyard and I have coached business owners, pastors, ministry leaders, and teachers. 

I love shepherding people. I love to look at a vision and figure out how to put it into action. I love to help people get unstuck so they can move forward. I’m passionate about helping leaders grow in spiritual and emotional health through coaching and spiritual disciplines.
