GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - The Karoo Community Church is honoured to host 2018 edition of the Global Leadership Summit (GLS) here in Graaff-Reinet, on Friday and Saturday, 2 and 3 November.
The venue this year will be The Assembly Church in Caledon Street.
The Global Leadership Summit (GLS), is a 2-day leadership event that takes place annually in August at Willow Creek Community Church’s campus in Chicago.
Founded in 1992, Willow Creek Association (WCA) is the organization behind The Global Leadership Summit. They serve pioneering pastors and leaders around the world by curating inspirational leadership, intentional skill development and experiences that help local churches and businesses thrive.
In the months following, the Summit moves into +1 375 sites in 128 countries (60 languages) across the globe via videocast, reaching approximately 500 000 leaders.
Willow Creek state, “We're convinced that effective, Christ-centred leadership is critical to advancing the Kingdom of God on earth. We believe that the Church is at the centre of this plan. However, the influence and impact of the church is felt most fully when everyone that's a part of a church is fully living out the life God has called them to live. This includes leaders from business, government, education, non-profits and multiple other spheres of influence. That's why leaders from all over the world gather together at The Global Leadership Summit and come together to fuel our passion and sharpen our leadership skills.”
Here’s what some of last year’s delegates said: “What a wonderful experience and turning point for life, family and work goals!”; “Great teaching and life-changing experience.”; “ What an empowering event”.
Each year, this event features experts in the arena of leadership in lecture and interview formats.
