Love Out Loud began in 2008 with the first Christmas for the City at the Millennium Center. Guided by a few simple values captured on a brainstorming flip chart, Love Out Loud was born out of a desire to link arms with other churches to be the presence of Christ in the heart of our city.

Since then, Love Out Loud has grown into a vibrant collective of (80+) churches, groups, and individuals dedicated to living out Christ's call to love our neighbors. Together, we partner with 300+ nonprofits, as well as marketplace and civic leaders, to foster the flourishing of our community.

By responding to the activity of God, the dreams of neighborhoods, and the callings of people, Love Out Loud connects the many great efforts across our city, convenes groups of like-minded leaders around shared causes, and accelerates innovative ideas born out of collaboration and complex thinking. These ideas are built on relational capital and grounded in spiritual transformation. Along the way, Love Out Loud seeks to strengthen local churches while engaging all who work for the good of our city.

In 2015, Love Out Loud entered a new season of interdependence as a venture of both the church and the community, focusing on connecting leaders and resources to release the radical love of Christ in our city. Today, we continue building a broad network of nonprofits, faith groups, and community partners, leveraging our infrastructure to support volunteer leaders and citywide efforts.
