Bethany participates in this informative and inspirational event each year put on by Willow Creek Community Church in South Barringing, IL. We typically have about 25 - 30 folks from Bethany attend, including many of our staff. This is a great opportunity to invite leaders from your company, your church, and your neighborhood to attend.

If you wish to attend along with others from Bethany, contact Cliff Wells or Cecilia Barrentine for more information. (Bethany is a member church of the Willow Creek Association, so special pricing is available).

The Leadership Summit is designed to be a can't-miss gathering for leaders serious about developing their leadership gift. The event features highly-respected senior pastors as well as innovative minds from the public and social sectors leading right where they are. Each session delivers practical learnings alongside inspiring programming to stretch your leadership bandwidth.

Every year the Summit is much more than "just a conference." It's crafted to envision, equip, and encourage teams with space to grow and learn together. It's two full days of opportunity—during sessions, over meals, and in the moments in between—to process the life-changing potential of your church in your community and the world.

Testimonies of Past Attendees:

The Leadership Summit helped me refocus on my personal development in my job and as a leader in the church. It has been a very positive and inspiring experience.

Inspiring! This conference refocused my vision, connected me with strategic relationships, gave me practical ministry tools, and helped me see a little more of God's expanding, diverse, and exciting Kingdom.

This conference far outpaced my expectations. I am still buzzing with what I learned from the speakers. I have made significant decisions and I have been sharpened. I thank God.

There is tremendous value in attending The Leadership Summit as a team to discuss and contextualize the information being given in real time. It's exciting to watch churches connect the teaching material to their own challenges.

This is an event you will not want to miss! For more information about the speakers and this event, visit the Willow Creek Leadership Conference website here.
