Over more than 40 years of ministry, I’ve had opportunity to attend many professional leadership conferences. NONE was as valuable as your “High Ground at Gettysburg” conference. You have crafted a truly great experience. Never quit. – Stu Weber, Pastor and Author of Tender Warrior

Fantastic! A True Three Dimensional Conference. The Gettysburg Leadership Conference is the singular best experiential learning experience I have ever been a part of--and having directed many such experiences with Leadership Network for the past ten years...that says a lot. Bring your leadership team and you will love it and benefit from it tremendously! -- Eric Swanson, Missional Specialist, Leadership Network

The best leadership development conference I've ever been to. --Roc Bottomly, Focus on the Family

An unforgettable learning experience at a hallowed place in our nation’s history! The lessons on the battlefield combined with the instruction in the classroom will have an indelible impact on your leadership--July 4, 2011.-- Chuck Macri, National Director, Military Ministry/Campus Crusade for Christ

The High Ground at Gettysburg conference at Gettysburg is the best personal and leadership development experience I have been a part of. Jay and Laurie create a learning environment that is second to none. The lessons on leadership from the battle and the Bible hit home every time (I have been to the conference 5 times). I love to bring colleagues and friends and each time they thank me for doing so. --Andy Wineman, pastor, Flatirons Church

I am not sure a month goes by (attended in 2003) that I don't reference something I learned by walking the fields of Gettysburg. From Buford's foresight to hiking up Little Round Top to the march across the field replicating Pickett's charge, each experience leaves an indelible mark on your soul. I have been to most of the conferences with high powered speaker and lots of shiny veneer but The High Ground at Gettysburg is solid wood, no veneer. You will never forgot the leadership experiences nor be able to lead the same way. --Roy Moran, pastor
