About the Annual Conference. LMI aims bring together a network of Christian leaders who can support, pray and serve each other as we each serve God in politics and culture. Our Annual Conference is a key way in which we do this. It provides the whole LMI network (Alumni, Faculty, and Friends) the opportunity to connect, learn and grow together as well as to encourage, support and pray for each other in our areas of service. All LMI Alumni are encouraged to attend to maintain and build on these connections. The LMI Annual Conference is only open to Alumni, Faculty, and Friends of LMI.
