WHO WE ARE

Our first urban, young adult discipleship conference took place in the summer of 2007. Within a few years it grew to 2,000 annual attendees coming from cities across the country. This conference would encourage, empower and equip thousands of people to be disciples of Christ who would make disciples for Christ in their local context. Many would become pastors, church planters and leaders within their church. Others would have influence via social media and the arts. Others would be called to serve as educators, realtors, lawyers, and contractors.

The conference would continue to grow its reach until it would be necessary to create a separate 501(c)3, Legacy Disciple in August 2018. Since then, we have developed programs that can be utilized by local churches to engage their local community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ including social-emotional learning in elementary schools (Thriving Minds), mentoring programs in local churches (Brotherhood & Sisterhood Mentoring), summer employment and leadership development (Hood Heroes), and financial literacy and home ownership (J29 Homes).
