Belay

Sometimes, as leaders, we think there’s no way someone could do the job as well as we can. It can be easy to feel like we have to have our hands in everything for our organization to succeed.

But as we all know, that couldn’t be further from the truth. No one accomplishes anything great alone.

You may be thinking, ‘I can’t afford to bring on help’. If you’re a leader trying to do it all, this might be the best investment you can make in your organization, not to mention your relationships, your parenting, and your mental health.

BELAY’s modern staffing solutions have been helping busy leaders like you delegate the details for over a decade. With BELAY, you can get intentionally paired with a U.S.-based virtual assistant or accounting specialist and level-up your church through the power of delegation.

To help you get started, BELAY is offering our Church Leadership Toolkit. With this toolkit, you’ll learn the necessary steps every leader needs to accomplish more and juggle less.

To claim it, just text CAREY to 55123.

In no time, you’ll be back to doing what only you can do: Growing your organization.

No one can do it alone. Great leaders delegate. Get the support you need to get out of the administrative weeds, and back to growing your organization with BELAY.

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 a private online community of senior-level church leaders, you'll get the exact insights and answers that fuel your church for growth.
