First Baptist Church of Athens is one of more than 230-plus hosts for the 2013 Global Leadership Summit put on by the Willow Creek Association.
The two-day event is headlined by speakers such as former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell; executive producer of Survivor, The Voice and The Bible, Mark Burnett; founder and senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, one of the largest churches in America, Bill Hybles; and four best-selling authors.

It’s telecast live from Willow’s campus (near Chicago) every August. Throughout the fall, Summit events take place in an additional 300+ cities, 92 countries—and translated into 42 languages. This event is crafted to infuse vision, skill development and inspiration for the sake of local church transformation.”
