Finding others in your area that are committed to the Great Commission is one of many benefits that joining a Local Center can bring. We encourage you to join one today.

Local Center Meetings in July
For a detailed list of all upcoming events at Local Centers, visit our website. Local Centers are hubs where LCN members can be coached, networked, and resourced on how to become better disciple-making churches.
It is also the place where LCN members network to plant local churches and invite other churches to be a part of the LCN family.
