About Us

René and Marie Paré

Please allow us to introduce ourselves:
We both were the oldest child in our families. Thus, we grew up feeling a great degree of responsibility.  Developing a sense of humor took years!

We were married very young and raised nine children, all born within a 13-year time span.  René worked two jobs as an electronics engineer to support the family. Marie was a stay-at- home mom.

In our middle years we discovered a path to spirituality that we became passionate about.

René went to ministerial school and Marie was right there beside him, studying as well.
After ordination in 1979 we took a small church in Orlando and after three years moved to a much larger church in San Diego. We pioneered our third (and last) church in
Wilmington, NC where we stayed for twenty years, recently retiring to emeritus status.

In 2003 we entered a coach training program and are now professional coaches.
Coaching ministers, spiritual leaders and their partners seemed a perfect way to continue our love of ministry.

Besides, it’s our passion!
René and Marie
