The Art of Leadership Academy

Where do you turn for advice about church leadership and growth?

Personally, I’ve worked with dozens of coaches, mentors, and consultants over the years—people who help me navigate important situations and decisions.

If you’re looking for the same in your church, you should check out The Art of Leadership Academy. One of the comments I get most from people thinking about joining is, “I’m a bit hesitant… what’s the community going to be like?”

Well, it’s a community of growth-minded leaders creating a space for the ‘good people on the internet.’ It’s a place where we can tap into each other’s wisdom and connect with people that we otherwise would never have crossed paths with.

Here’s an example of recent conversations:

Matt and Brody both asked, “I need to launch another service. Does anyone have advice, resources, or best practices to share to make sure it goes smoothly? And mistakes not to repeat? Thanks in advance.”

People chimed in with advice about the impact it’ll have on the leadership, worship, and children’s teams, parking, facilities, and more. So, congrats Matt and Brody! These are great challenges to have.

It’s time to stop worrying and agonizing about these things. The next time your church starts getting stuck, you can simply open up the app and the answer is just a click away.

To join today, visit TheArtOfLeadershipAcademy.com and you’ll get instant access to an entire vault of online training programs and a private online community.
