Leading Second Build exists to come alongside pastors and church teams to:

1

Identify current challenges & assess your team dynamics

Your Build journey kicks off with an observation of your weekend services and teams, an assessment of staff leadership styles and culture, and is followed by your first meeting to debrief and discuss findings.
2

Architect together a pathway forward

Based on our findings, we work with you to make the best plan for your individual needs and create a plan to help you break through your barriers.
3

BUILD the church

Through this 12-15 month process, you will gain clarity on your current organizational season, greater understanding of your team’s leadership capacity and mindset, strategies for future hiring and team collaboration, and clear next steps and partnership in the process.

About Us

Brandon Stewart

After 15 years of serving on the team at Champions Centre, and 5 years of traveling North America to equip local church teams, Brandon & Lindsay Stewart began to see the real challenges leaders in the middle were facing. Believing that healthy teams are essential to thriving churches, they began to pioneer a new community of church leaders built around the heart of servant leadership. From this belief, they founded Leading Second which exists to equip local churches everywhere to raise up UNCOMMON leaders.

 

Brandon utilizes wisdom from his 20+ years in ministry and 12+ years of coaching churches and teams to help churches BUILD. He is a licensed consultant through Scale Architects, using the Predictable Success model for coaching.

Get Started

Revolution Church

San Antonio, TX

“We’ve got more leaders being developed than we’ve ever had. We’ve got more people in the right seats than we’ve ever had in our church. And what’s really happening as a result of all of that is our church is growing.”

Real churches seeing real results

Victory Church

Great Falls, MT

"I had known for some time that if we wanted to continue to grow, that we would need to structure our ministry differently. And frankly, I just didn’t know how to do that. From the very first meeting, we knew we were on the right track. We have recently moved to three Sunday services and without restructuring I’m not sure we would have been able to accomplish that."

Pearl Street Church

San Antonio, TX

“There’s a beauty in which we’re walking in here today where there’s a ton of excitement on every single team. We’ve got the right people in the right places. We’ve got the right strategies in place and everybody is running and excited.”
