The Leadership Summit

“A leader sees reality not as it is, but how it might be!”

Romans 12:8 tell those who have the spiritual gift of leadership to “lead with diligence.” Leadership isn’t easy. In fact, it is very tough. Bill Hybels, who pastors the Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois, has a passion for helping leaders develop in their God-given spiritual gift. As a result, he puts on an excellent 3-day conference each August that he calls “The Leadership Summit.” This year 70,000 leaders will attend this event which will be simulcast to 160 locations including our own backyard at the Lancaster County Bible Church. Many of our staff are planning to attend, some with key leaders from their areas of ministry.

The line-up of speakers is simply amazing:

Bill Hybels, pastor of Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois and chairman of the board for the Willow Creek Association.

James Meeks, founder and pastor of Salem Baptist Church in Chicago’s Roseland Community, one of the nation’s fastest growing churches.

Andy Stanley, Founder of North Point Ministries and pastor of a 3 campus church in which 15,000 people come to worship each and every weekend.

Peg Neuhasuser, author and speaker who specializes in the area of conflict management, organizational culture, stress, and avoiding burn-out.
