What is it?
Are You an Aspiring Christian Thought Leader?
The Leadership Summit seeks to bring together aspiring Christian thought leaders from across the West Coast, for an incredible weekend of networking and equipping. This is an opportunity for young professionals and student leaders aged 19-30† to meet one another and grow together as Christian leaders. This year, we'll cover topics such as:
- What are my leadership strengths and weaknesses?
- What is a thought leader and how can I become one?
- How do I grow practically as a leader?
- What's the relationship between leadership and community?
- How should I handle church hurt?
Join us in the beauty of BC’s coastal mountains where you can enjoy fellowship and growth at Sasquatch Mountain Resort.
† Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.
