Best $10 Lunch in Town

Twelve years ago, Living Word Christian Center launched a noontime outreach to the business community called Winners Luncheon. A "luncheon and learn" format featured a delicious meal followed by a leadership presentation from Mac Hammond and a variety of local and national speakers.

The impetus for Winners Luncheon came from the many successful years Pastor Hammond spent in the air freight industry and his desire to share leadership principles for success in business and life. Another reason for the luncheon was to provide a platform by which our members could invite business colleagues, clients, and friends to our church in a non-threatening environment.

The first event was held at the Minneapolis Athletic Club, so it seemed appropriate to call it “Mac at the MAC.” Today, the Winners Luncheon is held on the first Wednesday of each month in our fellowship hall. Several hundred business professionals from throughout the Twin Cities enjoy the best $10 lunch in town as they're taught practical leadership principles from Mac Hammond and a variety of local and national speakers.

Leadership is not just a position. It's also a skill and something that must continue to develop throughout our lives. The Winners Luncheon provides our guests with new leadership insights and powerful principles to help them become a more influential and effective leader.

In the spring of the year, Winners Luncheon takes a one-month break when we host John Maxwell’s Maximum Impact Simulcast in our sanctuary.

The Winners Luncheon is just one more way Living Word is reaching people, touching lives, and making a difference.
