Welcome to Armband Coaching

Alan White, youth ministry coach

My name is Alan White, and I have been in professional ministry for the past 25 years. I've had the joy of serving in a variety of contexts including being an assistant to a youth pastor in a small rural church, leading a multi-staff youth ministry of 200+ students, being the Family Pastor with a team of 10 Next Gen staff, to my current role leading the ministry team at Camp Lighthouse (www.camplighthouse.org). While each setting has been different, there are certain culture building techniques and systems based solutions that apply to every ministry setting. I believe that every ministry is different, so my approach is process and value driven instead of programatic or formulaic. I have a passion for helping ministry leaders build healthy, vibrant, and sustainable ministries through coaching and mentoring. I was blessed to have some incredible mentors and coaches along my own ministry journey, and still do, and I desire to do the same for the next generation of youth leaders.

Mission

Armband Coaching is dedicated to developing the soul care, systems, and skills needed for ministry leaders to build sustainable and healthy ministries and to equip leaders to stay in ministry for the long haul.

Why Armband?

In soccer (or football if you’re a real fan), captains traditionally wear an armband to denote their role on the team. The coach can’t go on the field but the captains can, making them the catalyst for the success of the team. Therefore, my approach is to focus on the development of the “Captains” as they lead the rest of the team in ministry.
