The Art of Leadership Academy’s The Art of Church Growth
With about 60 days left in 2022, most leaders are already shifting their focus to next year, but I’d like to encourage you to do the opposite.
It’s not too late to finish this year strong.
What if you could finish 2022 on a high note? And what if you could carry that momentum into next year?
Well, I’ve prepared a few resources to help you with exactly that.
My Church Growth program—which is open for enrollment—walks you through the steps to position your church for growth. By taking a thorough look at your leadership team, pastoral care, missional alignment and, culture, it’ll help you:
- Discover and eliminate the barriers that keep your church from growing
- And, guide your church through transformational conversations that lead to growth and deeper discipleship
Join before the end of the day on November 2nd to receive the Christmas Outreach Toolkit, which outlines simple steps you can take to make this Christmas your best one yet.

Compassion International
I want to tell you about a partner that I love, and that is Compassion.
Our church has partnered with them, my wife and I have partnered with them, and wherever they serve around the world, which is 26 countries, they partner with the local church, to release children from poverty, in Jesus’ name, and they’re doing that this Christmas in a way that your church can get involved in.
You know what your church is going to be looking for? It’s like, “What are you doing for people around the world this Christmas?” That’s why you should check out Compassion’s cool opportunity called The Giving Tree.
It’s a simple way for your church to share the love of Christ with kids in need, by decorating a tree with ornaments that represent a variety of gift options. People pick a gift, and they give, and they help release a child from poverty, in Jesus’ name.
Meet a practical need for a child in poverty this holiday season by going to compassion.com/GivingTree/Carey.
