An Invitation for Like-Minded Leaders and Practitioners
This year, we’re opening the doors of the Love INC National Gathering to more than Love INC staff and leaders. We’re inviting Christian leaders and practitioners with a heart for community outreach that is relational, church-engaged, and transformation-focused. Whether you’re involved in church collaboration, faith-based nonprofit work, or simply exploring new models of compassionate care, you’re invited to join us for a meaningful time of learning, connection, worship, and vision.
Check out our special “For All” workshop series on Wednesday (detailed below). This series was designed to inspire and equip leaders from a variety of ministry contexts. Then on Thursday, you’ll find a wide selection of workshops to choose from to engage and support your unique ministry setting. We look forward to meeting you!
“Living Out Our Call, Care, and Connection” Workshop Series
This three-part workshop series invites participants to reflect deeply on what it means to live faithfully and serve meaningfully within the Body of Christ. Together, we’ll explore how individuals can embrace their God-given purpose, how we care for others in ways that foster dignity and transformation, and how ministries can help unify the Church for collaborative service. Whether you’re part of a church, nonprofit, or community initiative, this series offers practical insight and biblical inspiration for living out your faith in a way that brings lasting impact.
Your Call—Living with Purpose at Every Stage

God calls each of us to live with intention and purpose, no matter where we are in life. This session explores how we grow in our calling, deepen our engagement in God’s work, and live fully into His purpose for us.

His Care—A Godly Approach to Walking With Others
Audience: All Attendees
Theme: Mission
Caring for people in need should reflect God’s heart—moving beyond transactions to true transformation. This workshop explores redemptive compassion: biblical principles of relational ministry that affirm the God-given value and potential of every person. Participants will learn specific, practical ways to serve wisely, foster dignity and mutual participation, and walk with others in ways that lead to lasting change.
Led By: Vicki Conn, Developing New Affiliates Specialist, Love INC National.
Our Witness—The Body of Christ
Audience: All Attendees
Theme: Mission
God designed the Church to be one body with many parts, working together for His glory. In today’s divided world, ministries have the opportunity to help cast vision, connect and help churches to serve together in ways that reflect Christ’s love. This session explores how nonprofit ministries can build bridges among diverse congregations, invite meaningful participation, and create space for collaborative ministry.
