It started in 1995—one city, 2,200 leaders, and 300 churches.

This year, The Global Leadership Summit (GLS) will reach 65 countries and more than 120,000 leaders from 10,000+ churches. But it’s not about numbers—it’s a sign that God is at work, using this global collaboration of leadership horsepower to mark our world—and bring His kingdom to earth.

“Far more than an annual training event, The Global Leadership Summit has become a galvanizing event in this worldwide leadership movement,” says Willow Creek Association President Jim Mellado. “Leaders representing an amazing diversity of race, cultures, ethnicities, languages, and denominations are coming together to give themselves to redeem and restore this broken world.”
