Frequently
Asked
Questions

What does LINC stand for?

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.

What does it cost to work with LINC?

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

Where does LINC’s funding come from?

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.

If I work with LINC do I have to separate from other networks I am a part of?

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.

Does LINC have a denominational affiliation?

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.
