The Monday Grace Team

We know ministry from the inside out!

Our coaches have diverse backgrounds, including pastors, ministry leaders, certified coaches, and counselors. With each bringing both professional training and lived experience.

We’ve served in churches. We’ve carried the weight of caring for others. And many of us have personally experienced the emotional overwhelm that can come with ministry life.

Our team is passionate about helping ministry leaders, staff, and volunteers heal, build resilience, and rediscover joy in their calling.

Over 70% of Ministry Workers say they are constantly stressed or emotionally exhausted as part of their ministry role. We’re here to change that!

Meet our Founder

April Nowlin is a trauma-informed, Certified Life Breakthrough and Christian Coach with over 25 years of experience serving in ministry as a volunteer, staff member, and church growth consultant.

Her work is shaped by decades spent walking alongside people, witnessing firsthand the emotional, relational, and spiritual pressures that often go unseen in ministry life.

In addition to her extensive ministry background, April has spent many years as a Relationship Coach helping individuals and couples develop healthy relationships.

Today, April guides people from brokenness to breakthrough. She equips them to rebuild self-worth, establish healthy boundaries, and create emotionally safe relationships without sacrificing their peace, faith, or identity.
