Spiritual Intimacy & Birthing Coach (SIB)
The Spiritual Intimacy and Birthing Coach Graduate Certificate seeks to provide students the opportunity to receive coaching services as students walk through their own transformation journey. As students become motivated, inspired, and empowered to start work on a project, goal, or dream that they believe God has given them, the ELTU coach or instructor provides live instruction through a series of curriculums, learning materials, and biblical seminars in group sessions, individual meetings, and homework to support the student’s journey. This program is designed to enhance a student’s life and/or ministry by encouraging and guiding the student to create and produce that which they have been holding on to for years or to help the student become unstuck. The program totals 126-hours of both synchronous and asynchronous spiritual development and learning that enhances a student’s ability to create, produce, and manifest their God-given dreams and visions.
Students who enroll in our Spiritual Intimacy & Birthing Coach program meet once a week in a group setting on Sunday afternoons (typically afternoons with class start time set at or after 3 pm CST via Zoom). The designated clock starting time set for each class may change depending on the class size/enrollment. Working with a live instructor each group will work on their curriculum and project they have brought forth or chosen as birthing projects. No tests or course papers are required.
Students of the Spiritual Intimacy & Birthing Coach program receive the ELTU Spiritual Intimacy & Birthing Coach Certificate by enhancing their personal, professional, or spiritual journey with a transformation project of their own.
To earn the Spiritual Intimacy & Birthing Coach Graduate Certificate, students must participate in the full 9-month birthing journey, plus the 3-months of aftercare which total a one-year program consisting of (40) weekly live group Empowerment sessions of 2-program hours each, (3) once-a-month group sessions with the instructor of 1-program hour each, and (3) coaching sessions that the student conducts with a person being coached for 1-program hour each. The student will also be completing weekly homework assignments that typically take 1 program hour of the student’s private time during the week. Thus, the program totals 126 program hours. Upon successful completion of all sessions and assignments in the Spiritual Intimacy & Birthing Coach seminar series, the student will receive the Spiritual Intimacy & Birthing Coach Certificate and become recognized by ELTU as a Spiritual Intimacy and Birthing Coach. It should be noted that participants of the Spiritual Intimacy and Birthing Coach Certificate may enter in through ELTU Alliance transfers and receive prior credit.

How it Works
Live Core Course Lectures
This seminar series is approximately 1 year: a total of approx 9-months (36 to 40 weeks) for:
- SIB Curriculum 1: consisting of a 2-hour group orientation meeting with the instructor during the first two weeks beginning of the program, then the remaining 16 weeks of immersion into the live lessons with the instructor from the textbooks for 2 hours per week.
- SIB Curriculum 2: consisting of the next 20 weeks with the last two weeks being two 2-hour group close out meetings with the instructor including a public or virtual celebration at the end of the program.
Plus 3-months of aftercare training as follows:
- SIB-Curriculum 3: consisting of one monthly group coach training.
This SIB Coach Certificate is offered when there is a class list of at least 10 attendees interested in enrollment. Instructor feedback is provided weekly.
Independent Study Homework Assignments
The above Core Courses require weekly homework assignments which take about one program hour each during the 9-month curriculum evaluated by the instructor.
Lab
In addition to the above, the student will setup, record, and complete at least (3) one-on-one coaching sessions with a person being coached. Each coaching lab is worth one program clock hour each. Including any prep work, each coaching session may last up to 60 minutes. The sessions may take place online or offline at working with the person being coached. The student, not the school, is responsible for acquiring, setting up, recording, and completing the coaching session with his/her client or person being coached.
Live Instructor-Led Group Coach Training
A 1-hour group coaching after-care training is provided once a month during the last three months of the year-long program.
Discussion Forum Online
ELTU Instructors offer either a Live Group Discussion Forum or a Posted Discussion Forum. Whether live or posted, the Discussion Forum is the place to participate with others who may be enrolled at ELTU currently or have been enrolled previously and have posted their comments in reply to any of the Instructor’s Questions covered in the Course Curriculum / Syllabus. These questions are typically regarding personal, professional, or spiritual transformation, leadership, coaching, change, or any aspect of the given course or program. Where you see an icon labelled “Discussion Forum” or content labelled as such in your Class syllabus, your participation in the Discussion Forum is required and will be graded to successfully complete the program. If a student has not attended either the Live Group Discussion Forum Online (or Posted Discussion Forum Online) to perform and complete the required weekly check-ins, the Instructor may recommend to the School Director that the student be withdrawn from the program (see policy on Satisfactory Progress and Academic Probation).
Adding on Degree Programs
Students who complete the Spiritual Intimacy & Birthing Coach Seminar Series may desire to add-on the ELTU Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctoral degree programs with the approval of the ELTU School Director. Thus, offering you several ways to elevate your educational success. A maximum number of Seminar Series program hours (see chart below) may be transferred into the degree programs for completion.
