When I tell, I inform. When I ask, I transform. - Todd Stocker
Coaches help mine out God's transforming work that is already happening inside of you.
Coaches are available to help you discover how God has designed you to be - a unique combination of skills, passions, and callings. Using a variety of tools to guide your personal discovery and mutual conversations, you will walk away with greater confidence in your purpose (personal mission) and what next steps you can take to make a Jesus-like difference in your community and world.
Note: In order to honor you, we are proud to assign same-gender coaches.

Meet Our Coaches
Hi, my name is Kurt Anderson. I am a coach because we all need a guide at various times in life to help us self-discover the path that God has put before us. I’m an entrepreneur at heart and love the hustle of life. For the last 20 years I have been in vocational ministry as a pastor and now a missionary to teens. I have experienced times when life was so hectic that I felt paralyzed and unable to move. I have learned skills and habits that help me discern the Lord’s leading in my life and I would like to help others to have the same.

Hi, my name is Megan Anderson. I am a coach because I have always had a desire to help people achieve more than they thought they could. I have served as a volunteer Young Life leader for over 25 years. I enjoy empowering young women with knowledge that not only do they deserve the best, but God also wants the best for them. I look forward to helping you discover all that God desires for you to be.

My name is Debbie Johnson. I am a coach because I like helping women figure out what God has called them to do with the gifts that He has given them. I'm a teacher by profession and I manage several vacation rentals for fun! I have 4 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I love it when someone being coached can really see the changes they have made. Coaching has been a truly rewarding experience.

My name is Randy Johnson. I like coaching because I love meeting new people and helping them use their God given gifts to solve their challenges or problems in life. I am a retired physical therapist and now I am a real estate investor, race car driver, husband, friend, father, and grandfather. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 39 years and we have 4 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I attend Life Center Church and I have been involved with Young Life in one way or another for 51 years. I look forward to meeting you and helping you discover and use your God given gifts.

Hi, I'm Joe Newman. I have been a member of OSLC for 27 years. I have taught Sunday School for almost that entire time. I have served on the Board of Directors and Board of Elders. I have served as the Congregation President twice. I also sing in the choir and have helped launch the Backpacks 4 Kids and the OSLC Car Shop ministries. I have been married to Kris for 46+ years and have two daughters and 2 granddaughters. I am retired. I have been in the OSLC Coaching Program for about 3 years and am a group leader. Shortly after we joined OSLC, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer and have had Stage 3 kidney disease ever since. The doctors are baffled about why I don’t need dialysis or a transplant yet. The answer is simple – God has a plan for me. He has a plan for you too and I would like to help you explore what that plan is.

I'm Greg Sutherland. I am a coach because it's one of the things God has called me to do. I didn’t know what coaching was for a long time but I used coaching like methods as a husband, father of 5 children and orthodontist for over 3 decades. Once trained, I was able to improve and fine tune my coaching abilities. As a coach, I listen and ask more questions than make statements. At OSLC I have served as an elder, teacher, and coach and have been involved in the coaching program since it’s beginning. My mission is to help you become all that God has created you to be. I look forward to meeting you.
