The Global Leadership Summit

Bring World-Class Leadership to Your Church

When you hold a Summit, you ignite transformation.

The Global Leadership Summit is the world’s premier leadership event — and it exists to help your church build leaders so you can have exponential impact.

It's a two-day simulcast experience, reaching 350,000 people every year, and you can hold it right inside your church doors.

IMAGINE YOUR PEOPLE SAYING...

“I have the skills to really impact our community.”

"I believe in what my family can accomplish in our city.

“I have the skills to really impact our community.”

The Summit equips your church and community with practical leadership tools that inspire growth and deepen impact.

The Impact of the Summit at Your Church

The Summit brings world-class leadership training directly to your community. Past speakers have included three former U.S. presidents, dozens of Fortune 500 CEOs and leadership legends like Jim Collins, Condoleezza Rice and Simon Sinek.

But the Summit is more than an event. It catalyzes your church. The Summit helps you:

Develop confident, equipped leaders
Bring practical, faith-infused leadership development to every person in your church.
Serve your city in a tangible way
Position your church as a leadership hub by opening your doors to the wider community.
Expand your influence as a local leader
Build relationships and impact far beyond your walls.
Grow engagement and momentum
Many churches experience increased attendance, new partnerships and deeper buy-in as leaders grow together.

When leaders grow, everything around them grows.

Lead where you are.

The Summit has always been about equipping leaders — not just in big cities or major venues, but in every community.

When you hold a Summit locally, you multiply the mission of developing leaders who bring renewal, innovation and hope to the places they live and serve.

You don’t need a massive building.

You don’t need a huge team.

You simply need a desire to invest in people.

God does the rest.
