Churchnet Scholarships Available for 2012 Leadership Summit

Churchnet has provided scholarships for several years to assist pastors, staff and church leaders in attending the Willow Creek Leadership Summit.  This annual leadership event has become one of the most popular leadership events around the world.  The live telecast of the Willow Creek Leadership Summit is now available at six Missouri locations (see the list below).  The Churchnet Congregational Health Team wants to help your church as you seek to develop leaders by providing scholarships for the Leadership Summit on August 9-10, 2012.

The regular cost of the Leadership Summit is $249.00.  This year Churchnet’s scholarship program will allow “first time” attenders to participate in the two-day event for $60.00.  Those who have attended before may attend for $149.00.  These special rates are available until May 20, 2012.  After this date Churchnet will continue to provide tickets at a reduced, but slightly higher rate.
