On June 6-8, 2016, KCCD held its 9th National Lighting the Community Summit at the Kellogg Conference Hotel in Washington, D.C. With the theme of Shining Our Light: Owning Our Future, influential and prominent faith and community leaders from across the country came together unified to be a presence and voice at our nation's capital.

The Summit addressed key issues within the pan-Asian community, advocacy through raising the Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) voice, provided valuable resources from business, government, and community nonprofits, and developed life-long networking and connections for Asian Christian leaders.

In addition, the Summit was packed with notable speakers such as MSNBC's News Anchor Richard Lui, New York Times Bestseller Author Jim Wallis of Sojourners, Diana Yu, Chief of Staff for the White House Initiative on AAPIUSCIS Chief of Staff Juliet K. Choi, Tony Suarez, Executive Vice President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, among others (see more), along with an opportunity to honor individuals who have made an impact in the faith and in their communities. Honorees include Congresswoman Grace Meng, NBC Asian America's Traci G. Lee, Dr. Russell and Dr. Joan Jeung, and Rev. Won Sang Lee, Pastor Emeritus of Korean Central Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C.

Stay tuned for each day's highlights, which include our Opening Reception, National AAPI Prayer Breakfast, and Awards Gala Dinner!
