Sam & Vicki Farina

Sam draws from years of church leadership and is well known for his dynamic and creative speaking ability. Believing in the possibilities and value coaching holds for emerging leaders motivated him to create “The Farina Group.” The Farina Group is comprised of specialists in the field of coaching. Sam has achieved the title of Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation and gives focus to executive, individual and team coaching with the use of multiple assessments.

He holds a Doctorate of Ministry with an emphasis in professional coaching.

After pioneering to create the Assemblies of God Coaching Network, he continues to train coaches for the network and serves on their coaching board and task force. He hosts a monthly Coaching Skills Webinar.

Dr. Vicki Farina, specializes in leadership, spiritual, and personal coaching. She was trained under Master Coaches, Jane Creswell and Linda Miller. She has achieved the ACC certification with the International Coach Federation. She is a certified People Management Coach, Conflict Dynamic Profile Coach and Certified Facilitator of Everything DiSC Workplace Assessment.

She is a woman in desperate pursuit of God. Her determination to know God on an intimate level and her dedication to study the Bible has taught her many truths, some discovered through painful tears, and some in times of joy. Vicki often uses biblical leadership coaching skills as a catalyst to championing others to find and live their full potential. She believes the words of Abraham Lincoln “All humans beings have their weaknesses, but not all of us realize them, come to grips with them, or offset their negative impact.” She believes, as a group whose primary endeavor is interacting with other people, leaders must accomplish the paradoxical task of managing their darker sides and coaching is key to that management.

In May 2015, she earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from Assemblies of God Theological Seminary with an emphasis in professional coaching. Vicki has worked in several churches in the role of women’s leadership and enjoys being a frequent speaker for various events and conferences. She and her husband, Sam, live in Red Oak, Texas.

Sam & Vicki are passionate for individuals, teams & organizations to achieve their full potential.
