Get the Leadership badge and become a Verified leader

With the Leadership plan, your public profile shows a Leadership member badge. Ask us to review your ministry role and, once a reviewer approves it, the badge becomes Verified leader.

What the badges mean

• Leadership member: holds the Leadership plan. Christian.com has not reviewed their ministry role.
• Verified leader: Christian.com staff reviewed this person's ministry role. It is not an endorsement of their ministry.

The badge shows next to your name wherever people appear, such as comments, groups and member cards, but only while your profile is public.

Ask for review

1. Start the Leadership plan from Pricing if you haven't. See Start a 15-day free trial.
2. Go to Settings and find the Verified leader card.
3. Fill in Church or ministry and Your role or title.
4. Optionally add A link that shows your role, for example your church's staff page, and Anything the reviewer should know.
5. Click Ask for review. You'll see Sent for review.

What happens next

The card shows where your request stands:

• Waiting for review: a reviewer hasn't decided yet.
• Verified: your badge now reads Verified leader.
• Not verified: you'll see the Reviewer's note. You can send a new request with more detail.

Make sure people can see it

The badge appears on your public profile, so turn on Show a public member profile in Settings. See Publish your profile page.

Good to know

• The badge shows only while your Leadership plan is active. If the plan lapses, the badge is hidden; an approval is remembered, so it shows as Verified leader again when you restart the plan.
• Paying for Leadership never makes you verified on its own; only a reviewer's approval does.
• Leadership also gives you priority support: requests you send from the help center go ahead of the general queue.
