Linking People to People. Linking People to Christ.
The Lutheran Intercity Network Coalition (LINC) is equipping Christians in San Antonio to engage their community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We identify needs around the city and seek strategies to help meet those needs; we help people implement their own ideas for new ministries; and we build networks among Christians interested in the same kinds of outreach. We do the ongoing work of growing a network that links caring people with people who need to be cared for. We foster sustainable ministries that lead to the development of relationships between Christians and non-Christians. From these relationships come the opportunities to speak the Word of God to open ears and ready hearts. Our goal is Kingdom expansion, to the glory of our risen Savior Jesus.
Our History
We started work in San Antonio in 2008. Things really got rolling when we Called Pastor Ely Prieto as Executive Director in 2011. Since then, we have been honored to bring God’s love to people in San Antonio. Our network of partners is always growing, and now includes 11 area LCMS congregations and many more individuals. We are grateful to serve both Christians and non-Christians alike.
Our Purpose
We are so grateful that God has given us opportunity to bridge the gap between our Christian family and our non-Christian friends and neighbors.
That is why we exist. That is how we measure success.
Many times in Scripture, Jesus followers came together simply to share a meal and talk. If we have brought people together around Jesus, we count it as a victory.
Our Vision
After over a decade of ministry and mission through specific programs, we are happy to announce our new vision. We are going to keep everything good that we have committed to, and also allocate some resources to a new church plant in San Antonio. We are very excited to announce this!
The real vision is to start a network of churches who plant churches.
We strongly feel God’s calling and blessing on this vision. Please pray for us, and get involved!
