JASON FRY

I retired in 2019 after 39 years of pastoral ministry in the United Methodist Church in small, medium-sized, and larger congregations. In 2023, I was recognized as an elder in the Global Methodist Church. As a coach, I walk alongside pastors and other ministry leaders as a thought and conversation partner to help them clarify their passion and priorities and to help them strategize ways to fulfill their potential. As coach and client, we explore together their lives and ministries to stimulate them to envision many different perspectives and possibilities, and challenge them to commit to a plan of action they develop in our conversations. I am available to clients anywhere in the world through Zoom video conferencing, and have some international clients. I am credentialed as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I was previously endorsed as a Life Coach by the United Methodist Endorsing Agency and was the first to be endorsed for Coaching Ministries by the Ecclesiastical Endorsing Board of the Global Methodist Church, and am now serving as a member of that board. I am appointed to my coaching ministry by the Mid Texas Conference of the Global Methodist Church as an extension ministry, and facilitate a monthly Zoom gathering, Connecting with GMC Coaches.
