A key part of Thanksgiving’s mission is to gather and equip disciples in our community.
We also believe wholeheartedly in the words of Jeremiah 29:7 that when our city prospers, everyone prospers.
As a way to love our city and help encourage and equip those who believe in a better tomorrow, we’re honored to host the Global Leadership Summit.
The Global Leadership Summit is the premier leadership event of the year. Broadcast in-person at hundreds of partner host sites around the world, this two-day experience is one of the most valuable and accessible leadership development opportunities available today.
