Fueling the vision of equipping

second chair leaders everywhere.

The need for healthy leadership teams has never been greater. In our first eight years, we’ve already equipped over 50,000 second-chair leaders. With your help, we can go further, reaching more churches and leaders in deeper ways.

Give Now

It’s impossible to have a healthy church without a healthy second chair team.

For almost nine years, Leading Second has existed to equip leaders in the second chair to be found faithful. We’ve had the honor of working with hundreds of churches through coaching, and impacting thousands of leaders through our resources and events. And we still feel like we’re just getting started.

Partners Circle is our new giving team. Churches and individuals who are coming alongside us to hold up our arms and fuel this vision financially, so that no second chair leader struggles in silence, and no church is capped by the strength of the leaders who carry it.

WAYS YOU CAN PARTNER

Leading Second’s Partner team is made up of individuals and churches who have committed to come alongside us in prayer and financial investment in order to fuel ministry strength and expansion.

 

In other words, a team of the most Kingdom-minded givers on the planet.

These gifts provide flexible impact: buying gear, creating content, moving forward in specific projects.

Regular monthly gifts are vital, as they allow us to hire staff and develop long-term strategies for growth. These provide sustainable work through: hiring staff, long-term growth, more predictable planning, and providing resources to churches in need.

THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING WITH US

We can’t do this alone. Your prayers, your partnership, & your generosity are what make this possible. With your help:

  • More leaders feel known, equipped, and supported

  • More churches are strengthened and unified

  • More lives and communities are touched through stronger ministry

Thank you for considering this walk with us. When you give, you’re not just supporting an organization. You’re helping build a movement toward healthier churches, stronger teams, and a brighter Kingdom impact.

EXPANDING OUR TEAM

Leading Second is eight years old as of February 2026, and to this day is supported by a mostly volunteer team of 30+ leaders from across North America. Our heart is for our team to remain heavily volunteer, but led and managed with excellence and strength. Your financial giving will allow us to continue to build the team we have in our hearts, fueling our vision in greater measure.

If you have it in your heart to involve members of your team on the Leading Second team, please let us know. Consider us an extension of your church’s heart to resource the greater body of Christ.

We have a strong onboarding process that includes lead pastor approval for any ministry involvement. Our aim is that your team’s involvement with Leading Second only strengthens their heart for your local church vision (and never competes).
