In a culture that often celebrates individual achievement and being on top, Leading Second exists to raise up the kind leaders every pastor would kill to have on the team. Leaders who are all-in, heart and soul for Jesus, His Church, and their team’s mission.
We are fiercely for the local church. We see a tribe of healthy, thriving leaders and teams across the landscape of the Church building churches that impact communities for Christ.
Our Creed
I’m a Christ follower, called to build the local church. I am a leader serving a vision bigger than myself. I champion the uncommon realm of honor, where my Pastor’s vision is my vision. I own it. My personal success is second to my church’s success. I will die to self daily to see the Church move forward. I stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before me and surrendered their lives. I will do the same. I will give every ounce of my life to this work, with no regard for credit, positions or titles. I will leverage all of my influence for the cause of Christ, to see His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. I am an UNCOMMON church builder. I am LEADING SECOND.
