TRANSFORMING our city with the love of Jesus by CONNECTING & MOBILIZING its people and resources.
Matthew 25:34-40 | Luke 10:25-37 | John 17
Our Story
Love Out Loud began in 2008 with the very first Christmas for the City at the Millennium Center. With a few simple values on our brainstorming flip chart, Love Out Loud was born out of a desire to link arms with other churches to be the presence of Christ in the heart of our city.
Since that time, Love Out Loud has built strong relationships to form a collective of Christ-centered churches (over 80), groups & individuals living out Christ's call to love our neighbor. Together, we partner with other local community organizations (200+ non-profits and scores of marketplace and civic leaders) for the flourishing of our city.
Responding to the activity of God, the dreams of neighborhoods, and the callings of people, Love Out Loud connects the many great efforts across our city, convenes groups of like-minded leaders around shared causes, and accelerates innovative ideas born out of collaboration and complex thinking, built on relational capital, and grounded in spiritual transformation. Throughout the process, Love Out Loud hopes to serve and strengthen local churches while fully engaging others working for the good of our city.
In 2015, Love Out Loud entered a new season of a truly interdependent church/community venture, focusing on connecting leaders and resources to release the radical love of Christ in our city. Since then, we have focused on building a broad network of nonprofits, faith-groups, and community partnerships, leveraging our infrastructure to support volunteer leaders and citywide efforts.
