Leading Second

We believe the Second Chair is one of the most consequential seats in the organization and that the greatest lie our people have accepted is that significance requires a title, a paycheck, a platform, or a first chair. Through events, coaching, and resources, we equip Second Chair leaders to be faithful to their calling by helping them lead themselves, lead up, and lead their team.

BRANDON & LINDSAY STEWART

FOUNDERS

Brandon Stewart is all-in for the local church. After more than forty years rooted in the same church and years serving on the team at Champions Centre in Tacoma, Washington, he carries a deep love for God’s house and the leaders who build it. He spent years directing the Team Church Conference, with a mission to build teams that build the Church.

Today, Brandon and his wife Lindsay lead Leading Second, a ministry devoted to helping church leaders thrive in the second chair. They travel widely to coach teams, partner with pastors, and create resources that strengthen church teams. Brandon’s heartbeat is to champion leaders under authority and to come alongside them with clarity, conviction, and care.

Together, Brandon & Lindsay have two daughters (Zane) and (Glo) who are full of life and creativity. When not at home, you will find them exploring a city somewhere in the world, hiking somewhere outdoors, or walking down the streets of Disneyland as a family.

THIS IS TEAM CHURCH

A growing community of pastors and leaders committed to building healthy teams that build healthy churches.
