I love Compassion.

Our church has partnered with them for years, and we’ve seen how it helps our congregation focus on others and engage globally in tangible ways.

You may not know that in all 26 countries where Compassion works, they partner exclusively with local churches to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. The local church is the hero.

As your church begins preparing for the holiday season and encouraging generosity, Compassion has a really cool opportunity called the Giving Tree.

It’s a simple way for your church to share the love of Jesus with children in need by decorating a tree with ornaments that represent a variety of gift options. Each gift is designed to meet a practical need for a child in poverty.

Check it out and sign up at compassion.com/GivingTree/Carey. You can request a free ornament kit from the website, set up a tree in your church lobby, and invite families to be a part of changing lives with their giving.

Lead With Confidence and Clarity. Grow Your Church.

As leaders, we tend to see the challenges and roadblocks before other people do.

We've all been there before...

You need to refresh your vision for the future but know that change will be an issue for that person.
You're overstaffed (or missing a key role) and can't find the right person to fill the role.
You aren't reaching enough new people even though you've tried everything that's working for other churches.
You can see the issue but aren't confident in what to do about it.

And with another Sunday morning coming up, it'll just have to wait until next week when you have a few minutes to figure it out.

Now ask yourself this:

What would it feel like to have those answers at your fingertips 24/7?

Whether it's reaching new people, improving your preaching, increasing volunteers, refreshing your vision, engaging your staff, or any of the countless challenges we face as church leaders, The Art of Leadership Academy will equip you to lead your church with confidence and clarity.

Between comprehensive church leadership courses, live coaching calls, staff and volunteer training resources, and direct access to an online community of senior-level church leaders, you'll get the exact insights and answers that fuel your church for growth.
