ABOUT US
GMA is a non-profit coaching association committed to lifting all Christian churches, ministries, ministers, and missionaries to new levels of flourishing.
It is global, because the commitment is to help anyone willing to advance the Gospel wherever the Lord Jesus has called them to serve. It is an association because it requires a team of talented people with a variety of skills to help others achieve the results and dreams the Spirit of God has birthed in their hearts.
GMA does this by coaching leaders in sharpening their vision and to create a plan for achievement. In addition to coaching, the GMA team will look for investment opportunities to come alongside the leader to empower quicker implementation of the vision. It is our dream to help others “go further faster.”
Our founder Eric Daniel became Senior Pastor of Hillside Church in Napa, CA in 2002. He serves as an Executive Presbyter for the Northern California and Nevada District Council of the Assemblies of God. He holds a position as adjunct professor for the School of Urban Missions teaching principles of leadership, homiletics, and hermeneutics. He is also a proud member of the International Coaching Federation, as well as an AG3 Certified Coach.
Eric is passionate about empowering others to grow in their Spiritual Leadership. Under his leadership, Hillside Church has coached and empowered four other churches in successful revitalization efforts. He coaches both ministers who need greater life balance and those young in ministry.
Eric founded Global Ministry Advance in 2023, a coaching organization, for the purpose of assisting ministers, missionaries and Christian organizations in the development of goals and strategies for greater health.
