HBCU Link

A conference that equips HBCU ministry workers to lead ministries faithful to Jesus and tailor-made for black campuses.

The story.

The HBCU Link is a conference that equips historically black college and university ministry workers to lead ministries faithful to Jesus and tailor-made for black campuses. We equip through fostering community, offering practical training, and connecting those interested in HBCU ministry work to new and exciting opportunities. We want to see a movement spread to all 107 historically black colleges and universities, a movement that inspires students to embrace the Christ, to enter the church, to engage the campus, and to execute their careers -- all to the glory of God.

This conference is for all traditions and backgrounds. Though the Link is focused on ministry to HBCU campuses, all ministry workers who are doing similar kinds of ministry will benefit from our conference! You are invited.

We had our first gathering November 2021, and what started out as plans for a training event for one HBCU campus quickly grew into a conference. We had participants from 5 different HBCU campuses along with participants from other campuses and local churches. HBCU workers were refreshed by each others' presence, sharpened through the sessions, and connected to further possibilities in ministry.

We saw tremendous growth in our second gathering in November 2022. We had ministry leaders and students from 9 different campus ministries on 14 different HBCUs.

Given what we saw God do the last 2 years, we cannot be more excited about the HBCU Link 2024! We are extending the conference to two days, inviting more speakers, hosting additional celebrations/kickbacks, and adding another training track to cater to both newcomers and oldcomers.

You are sincerely and warmly invited to the HBCU Link 2024. We fully expect God to do above and beyond all that we can imagine, and we cannot wait to see you there!
