If you’re navigating growth, transition, conflict, or simply longing for a safe space to process and sharpen your leadership, coaching can be a powerful resource. ![Randy Helms](https://connectingpoints.com/hubfs/randy-2026.jpg "Randy Helms") #### Dr. Randy Helms *Senior Pastor* GT Church ## Meet Your Coach Dr. Randy Helms brings over **45 years of pastoral and leadership experience** to the table. His journey began in 1976 at Moffat Road Assembly of God in Mobile, Alabama. Since then, he has served in a wide range of ministry roles—including youth pastor at the iconic **Carpenter’s Home Church** in Lakeland, Florida; associate pastor at **Cathedral of the Cross** in Birmingham, Alabama; and lead pastor roles in **West Memphis, Arkansas** and currently at **GT Church Assembly of God** in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he has faithfully led since 1995.

His life and ministry have been marked by spiritual integrity, relational wisdom, and a passion for developing strong, healthy leaders. "At last, at long last a word about small groups that makes sense in real churches. Helms is a practitioner talking to practitioners with a fresh look at an important subject." – Dr. Mark Rutland, Founder of Global Servants “One of my greatest concerns as a pastor was connecting people with God and each other. I agonized over people having real meaningful relationships with others. Connecting Points is a practical and intentional means of solving that problem. Ministry is preceded by relationships and Connecting Points helps us intentionally focus on our purpose with a specific plan in the power of the Holy Spirit.” – Rev. Don Gifford, Superintendent Indiana District of the Assemblies of God “Connecting Points presents visionary, yet practical, methods and models for the support systems desperately needed by an individual church leader. In these pages there is a good design for connecting people with God and each other as the spiritual challenges are addressed and answered. It is a joy to salute and recommend this ministry. The Holy Spirit has used Dr. Helms to create a blueprint for achieving effective and successful ministry in the church. May the Lord use the principles herein to advance His kingdom in this generation.” – Dr. Terry Raburn, Superintendent Peninsular Florida District of the Assemblies of God “Connecting Points captures the desire of church leaders who aspire to see their congregations grow both numerically and with healthy community. The book lays out both the Biblical and functional Philosophy of ministry while also being very practical in nature. This ministry will impact your people in a positive way.” – Dr. Charles H.
