Get ready for a week that lights up your spirit, your leadership, and your faith! This year’s journey is inspired by 2 Timothy 1:6–7 — reminding us to stir up the gift of God within us and walk boldly, not fearfully!

We’re kicking things off with our Pre-LTI Activity “History No Mystery” as part of the Sankofa-Zakar Freedom School Pilgrimage from Wednesday, July 15, through our Equal Justice Initiative Legacy Sites Tour on Friday, July 17, 2026.   Together, we’ll dig deep into our story, honor our roots, and celebrate the powerful legacy that shapes who we are.

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!

Early Registration is open through Thursday, April 30th.
Regular Registration is Friday, May 1  - Monday, June 15th.
We will not have on-site registration or name changes.
