Then get ready to turn up the flame at LIT in Faith: Leadership Training Institute, running Friday, July 17, through Sunday, July 19, 2026. Expect powerful sessions, praise, and purpose-filled fellowship as we grow stronger in faith and leadership.
Let’s get LIT in Faith, because when we lead with the fire of the Spirit, the world can’t help but shine a little brighter!
