Willow Creek Community Church leaders are facing backlash from staff and members at one of its campuses over restructuring plans that include centralization and staff cuts.
Willow Creek’s Pastor David Dummitt spoke on Willow Creek Community Church’s plans for the future. The church is one of the nation’s biggest megachurches, with a weekly attendance of over 18,000 people. When Willow Creek’s senior pastor Bill Hybels resigned after sexual harassment allegations in 2018, the church went without a senior pastor until Dummitt’s selection in April. After Hybels resigned, the church’s attendance fell by around 7,000 people.
