"As adults, we have a key role in developing the next generation of Christian leaders. The Global Leadership Summit Next Gen provides an opportunity for every student to have a seat “at the leadership table” to learn more about the concept of leadership and how to best engage in using what they have learned to serve others on their campuses, in their communities and in the greater world."
