The program begins and ends with a 2-day residential program, the first in late October/November and the second in late April/May.

The Auburn Coaching Institute (ACI) works with religious leaders and organizations to develop resilient leaders who create and enhance vision, and actualize mission and values. Auburn Theological Seminary was founded almost two hundred years ago for the formation of church leaders “hardy” enough for life on the frontier. Today we are responding to a new religious frontier and a host of challenges and opportunities for leaders and their ministries. With the support of Lilly Endowment Inc. and other foundation and individual supporters, Auburn has developed an array of programs and services to bring professional coaching and leadership skills to the work of religious leaders.
