The ICCI/Deeper Walk Dual Coaching Certification bridges your heart-focused prayer ministry training with a professional coaching framework — equipping you to guide others not just toward healing, but toward their God-given purpose and calling.
Clearly understand the unique roles of ministry, counseling, and coaching — and know which tools to use for each client’s needs.
Master active listening, powerful questioning, and the professional systems and agreements that build a credible coaching practice.
Learn to create Christ-centered transformation strategies and set goals that maximize growth and momentum for your clients.
Apply your Deeper Walk Prayer Ministry foundation to recognize and address spiritual and emotional hurdles in a coaching context.
Incorporate listening prayer into your sessions to help clients discern God’s voice as they move toward their future calling.
Utilize professional tools for client self-awareness while applying Strategic Prayer for discernment and decision-making.
Most coaching programs are built on secular self-help frameworks. This program is different — it integrates Deeper Walk’s heart-focused discipleship model with ICCI’s professional coaching structure.
Your prayer ministry skills aren’t set aside — they become your greatest coaching advantage. You bring what most coaches never have: the ability to help clients clear deep spiritual and emotional blocks before setting goals.
"By combining the heart-focused model of Deeper Walk with the forward-moving discipline of ICCI, you become a uniquely equipped guide for those seeking to walk in freedom and fulfill their God-given purpose."
Each component of this program is designed to move you from your foundational training in Deeper Walk Prayer Ministry into a fully credentialed professional coaching practice.
16 sessions of online, self-paced content deliver the essential elements of professional Christian life coaching at your own schedule.
8 live online group sessions over five months include group labs, case staffing, and interactive content discussion with your cohort.
Receive personalized mentoring from ICCI/DW Master Coach Dawn Whitestone, with over 10 years of experience coaching and training coaches.
Gain a recognized credential from ICCI — a premier credentialing body for Christian Coaching — in addition to your Deeper Walk Prayer Ministry Certification.
Move beyond crisis-based ministry to long-term “life-building” relationships, supporting clients in leadership, marriage, and career development.
Both programs prioritize biblical integration — your coaching practice is not just a secular self-help model but a Spirit-led journey of transformation.
Bypass the Associate level of ICCI credentialing entirely. Begin your coaching practice at the professional level with the CPCLC credential from day one.
Master Coach Dawn Whitestone brings over a decade of coaching and coach-training experience to guide you through every stage of this program.
15 CE hours/year required to maintain your CPCLC credential — 5 must be through Deeper Walk. This can be covered by attending the annual Hope Together Conference.

Yes. This program is specifically designed as a bridge for Prayer Ministry Certification graduates. Your foundational Deeper Walk training is the prerequisite — it’s what makes this coaching certification uniquely powerful.
CPCLC stands for Certified Professional Christian Life Coach. It is awarded by the International Christian Coaching Institute (ICCI), a premier credentialing body for Christian coaches. Completing this dual program qualifies you to bypass the Associate level and enter directly at the professional credentialing level.
The program runs over approximately five months. It includes 16 self-paced sessions plus 8 live online group sessions. You’ll also complete mentoring hours and field experience requirements toward your ICCI credentialing.
ICCI requires 15 continuing education hours per year to maintain the CPCLC credential, of which 5 must be through Deeper Walk. This can be covered by attending the annual Hope Together Conference. An optional yearly ICCI membership ($79/yr) is also available.
The $1,852 student total covers your DW tuition and technology fee ($1,459), first-year ICCI membership with the DWJOIN coupon ($19), ICCI course content ($299), and the ICCI credentialing application with the DWCRED coupon ($75). The list price for these items is $2,326, so dual enrollment represents meaningful savings.
