For more than a decade, Bill Hybels, the pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, has been hosting a conference called the Leadership Summit. It's held the second week of August every year, and he assembles an all star cast of leaders that speak about leading with courage, integrity, and most of all, in Christ's likeness. This year, it’s on Thursday (8/9) thru Saturday (8/11). It consists of two full days (9-5) and a half on Saturday (9-noon). Bill Hybels, Colin Powell, Carly Fiorina, Jimmy Carter and John Ortberg are some of the this year’s speakers. In some churches, it is mandatory for the church leadership team to attend. It's that good!!! But it is not just for paid staff. It for anyone that is leading in ministry. If you have committed to starting a seeker small group, that's you! You'll find it to be a tremendous encouragement.
It has been a tremendous encouragement to me in the past few years. I am going to assemble a group to go with me. Are you interested? When it first began, the only location to attend was at the Willow Creek South Barrington campus. However, thanks to Church Communications Network (CCN), they now have satellite locations where you can attend in your own area. The Church on the Hill in San Jose will be hosting one of these satellite locations. Check it out at www.willowcreek.com/summit for more details. I hope you will consider joining me? Let me know. - Mary
