April Leaders Lunch: A 20-Mile March. Lessons for Life, Leadership, and Faith

Thursday, March 13th | 11:30 - 12:30 | Christ Community Church Register today and join us on March 13th to hear Pastor Les Beaucamp on The Challenge and Blessing of Succession. We are honored to welcome Pastor Les Beauchamp as the featured speaker for our March Leaders Lunch, discussing  “The Challenge and Blessings of Succession”. Strategic succession is a critical yet often overlooked key to long-term success—whether in ministry or the marketplace. Poorly executed leadership transitions can lead to uncertainty, division, and failure, but a well-planned, intentional approach can create growth, stability, and greater impact. About Pastor Les Beaucamp With over 37 years of ministry experience, Les has dedicated his life to developing leaders, fostering unity among churches, and expanding God’s Kingdom in Omaha and beyond.Les served as the Lead Pastor of Lifegate Church for 27 years, Lifegate is a multi-site church with five campuses and a bold vision to launch 40 campuses in 40 years. Under his leadership, Lifegate became a life-giving, Spirit-filled, presence-driven church that has impacted thousands of lives. In March 2023, after nearly three decades in leadership, Les stepped down from his role as Lead Pastor in a strategic and drama-free transition, demonstrating what a healthy and God-honoring succession looks like. Today, he serves as Pastor of Leadership Development at Lifegate, focusing on mentoring, training, and equipping the next generation of leaders for ministry and marketplace impact. Les has a deep passion for citywide Church unity, believing that we are better together in bringing Jesus, His salvation, compassion, and justice to the Omaha metro. For over three decades, he has been a key leader in the city Church movement and actively involved in the organization Within Reach, where faith and leadership intersect.As an Apostolic Overseer of seven churches and a mentor to ministry leaders across the country, Les is committed to helping leaders grow, navigate transitions, and embrace their calling with humility and wisdom.<p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:509.617px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin:0px;line-height:1.5"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:509.617px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin:0px;line-height:1.5">An Author & Teacher with a Passion for Growth<p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:509.617px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin:0px;line-height:1.5"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:509.617px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin:0px;line-height:1.5">Les is the author of Brand New - Living as God’s New Creation, a book that has been translated into four languages and written to help new believers and those curious about Jesus begin their faith journey.
