Leaders from business, government, education, churches, and the arts are among the faculty who will address Christian leaders at Willow Creek Association’s 2014 Global Leadership Summit, broadcast live via satellite from Willow Creek’s South Barrington, Il. location and hosted locally by Abba’s House in Hixson.

This hard-hitting conference is committed to helping pastors and Christian leaders strengthen their leadership edge and restore vitality to their organizations," officials stated.
