LEADING SECOND CAMP 2025

A 2-DAY CONFERENCE FOR CHURCH LEADERS AND TEAMS.

YOUR INVITATION

It is with incredible joy and expectation in our hearts that we invite you to join us at our next flagship gathering for second chair leaders – Leading Second Camp 2025.

We created this space for all of us who lead from the middle. If you serve on a church staff or leadership team in any capacity, you’ll find yourself at home in this tribe as we gather to be realigned and refreshed in ministry.

If you’ve been to Camp before, you know this is a powerful time where our tribe comes together. True peers in ministry gathered to seek God and learn from each other. We’ve seen God do a special, realigning work in our hearts at each event.

In 2025, the Leading Second Camp journey continues…

FOUND FAITHFUL

Over the past couple of years, there is one question I keep asking myself that I can’t shake… What does a faithful Church look like to Jesus? Taking it a step further, what does faithfulness look like in the eyes of our pastors? What does life and service in the Kingdom of God that hears “Well done, my good and faithful servant” look like?

The apostle Paul writes to the church in Corinth in 1 Corinthians 4:2 that “It is required in stewards that one be found faithful.”

Our deepest prayer for Leading Second Camp in 2025 is that you would go home marked by God with a cry in your heart to be found faithful over the ministry with which you’ve been entrusted. We’re going to give everything we have to equip you to navigate the leadership and team dynamics of leading from the middle.

You might even go home with a new cell phone number or two of ministry friends to do life with.

Dallas and Calgary we’re coming your way! We hope you’ll make plans now to join us at this vital gathering.
