Our Values

Vision

Build an expanding community of life-giving related churches.

Mission

Intentionally relate together to encourage, equip, and engage people to become strong, healthy pastors and leaders.

Why LINC?

This is a community that will help you be better at what God has called YOU to do. We bring value to your churches by linking like-minded leaders together in relationship and providing training from top-tier leadership communicators.

LINC is committed to our partners by encouraging, equipping, and engaging them for success. Additionally, we will connect them to other church support organizations who are uniquely designed and positioned to help in areas that LINC does not specialize.

History

LINC was birthed out of Resurrection Life Church, a vibrant, full-gospel church pastored by Duane Vander Klok in Grandville, Michigan. In the late 1980’s, visionary leaders from Resurrection Life Church began to branch out and plant churches in other parts of Michigan.

The need to relate and grow together as leaders and churches inspired the birth of LINC in 1993. Throughout the years, other churches, both regionally and beyond, have joined LINC with this common desire. To date, the LINC church association has grown into an influential association of churches and organizations that come together to build relationships and grow for impact in this generation.
