LIT Beliefs

We believe that everyone has the potential to #STAYLIT Lead In Transformation. Therefore we believe a commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity is essential for developing transformational and thriving sustainable ministries, communities, organizations, and a better world reflective of God’s beloved community. Once transformational leaders can understand themselves, as well where God is calling them to serve, then they are equipped as disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Over the years, the Leading in Transformation Conference has been recognized for its transformational experiences, excellent leadership and professional development training programs.
