“The Global Leadership Conference never imagines anything less that something extraordinary, and this year was no exception. I cannot recommend this event highly enough. With a ‘ who’s who' of speakers and artists, I have been challenged, excited, empowered at the possibilities for myself and the people I lead. And the best thing is that God showed up in a very real way. The Summit is a genuine world-class event - if you can go, then please just make it happen! This is an amazing gift!”

Steven CootePrincipal/CEO, Calvary Christian College

“The GLS is not just a conference it’s a life-changing, leadership stretching and ministry motivating opportunity. Life can get so busy for all of us – but if you want to lead well over the long haul, grow as a leader, be inspired, challenged and re-motivated – then I’d say make the GLS is an unmissable experience on your annual calendar. You won’t regret it”

Rev Dr Graham HumphrisChurch Planting Project Officer, Uniting Church

“My husband and I have been “GLS junkies” for almost 10 years now- GLS has become a vital source of spiritual nourishment that helps guide us through life and ministry. When we attend together as a couple and with our teams, it helps us to be on the same page for how to live life abundantly and lead others well.”

Anina FindlingNational Networking Manager for BFS

“The Global Leadership Summit has been the most important leadership training event on our calendar for the past five or six years. It’s positively affected our church culture, our leadership health, the vibrancy of our vision, and the effectiveness of methods. We bring more people to it every year.”

Casey WolvertonLead Pastor, Glenvale Seventh-day Adventist Church

“The GLS has been a fantastic source of leadership wisdom and timely inspiration for us at NewHope. By setting aside a small sum in the budget we have made it an annual leadership development priority for our whole team and the benefits have been fantastic. There are timely 'gifts' for every participant and major insights that serve our mission every year we attend. It’s a great way to spend time with experienced colleagues and to invest in emerging leaders as well. I highly recommend not just attending the GLS but taking a team and continually learning together.”

Rev. Dr. Allan DemondSenior Pastor, NewHope Baptist Church

“I have found GLS to be transforming at both a ministry and personal level. You will hear from gifted speakers who bring a wealth of experience from a wide range of leadership situations. It is full of faith inspiring stories and creative moments that will encourage and equip you to grow and develop in whatever area of leadership you are in. If you are in leadership or aspire to be a leader then GLS is for you!”

Stu CameronLead Minister, Newlife Church

“The GLS is a life giving opportunity to take a deep breath from the business of ministry and re-imagine what the future could be like. The GLS helps me to see way beyond that which I already understand. The post GLS conversations with our church team have been rich and invigorating as together we contextualise our learning and adapt our ministry practice. I highly recommend attending!”

Jonathan DaviesSenior Pastor, Seeds Uniting Church

“For more than 15 years the GLS has been the highlight of my annual leadership development. I'm always confident that the speakers will bring fresh and applicable insights, which become leadership habits that keep myself and my team growing. Each year I know my thinking will be elevated and my purpose illuminated - so I can't afford to miss it!”
