Learn MorePeer cohorts are where leaders work together to implement their plans. These cohorts are facilitated by experienced mentors. The cohorts are typically venture specific. They offer accountability, expertise and friendship along the way to implementing your God-given dream.
Spiritual Care is the foundational element to all of LINC’s programming. In addition to gaining high-quality training from experienced leaders LINC walks with leaders in their Spiritual development. We pray for, care for and love-on leaders by building a Spiritual support network around them.
Catalyst Grants are financial grants that are strategically given to help move the local mission forward. Leaders who have gone through the Mission Accelerator Program and participated in a Peer Cohort automatically qualify for a potential grant. Grants are awarded through local city leadership and no application is required.
LINC helps grassroots leaders from diverse communities build impactful ministries, nonprofits and businesses...with the promise that no leaders walks alone.
Wholistic, enduring and relational approach to walking with leaders.
We empower local leaders in their own communities, not parachute in.
LINC’s resources are accessible, affordable and high-quality.
We work together with other Kingdom minded organizations.
LINC stands for "Leaders in every Community". The “e” is silent. 🙂 We dream of a day when everyone in every corner of our cities can experience the Gospel in terms they can understand from someone that they know. We believe that empowered grassroots leaders are the key to that end.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors LINC is able to offer the highest quality resources at minimal (if any) cost. We do charge per seat for the Mission Accelerator because we’ve learned it creates greater investment for participants. The charge is a fraction of the total cost for the program
LINC is funded primarily through the generosity of individual donors and church partners. We are thankful for everyone who partners with us in this great work.
Most of our LINC leaders are connected to multiple networks. We believe in the power of Kingdom collaboration. In fact, we often help leaders to make new network connections and denominational affiliations as we assist in building their personal networks.
LINC was born out of the LCMS. That is the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. As such we are what is called an RSO of that synod and many of our team members are LCMS pastors. Though LINC has strong ties with the LCMS denomination we are an independent nonprofit. We develop leaders from multiple backgrounds and count many denominational leaders as our friends and partners.
