A note about Link CCD and faith
Though Link CCD is a faith-rooted organization, Link will not proselytize. This means that Link will not expect participation on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith, or listen to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith. Some of Link’s offerings within its Learning Communities focus may be directed toward spiritual growth and well-being, but this will be made known in the description.
Link has an open-door policy: All who desire to create a flourishing community are welcome to get involved and support our mission regardless of income, race, religion, age, gender, sexuality, politics, or any other distinctions that tend to cause division.
