We hope this message finds you well and filled with as much joy as we have experienced over the past five days as we have slowly rolled out the announcement, we finally get to share with you today!
Today, June 5, 2023, we are thrilled to announce the biggest change to ever happen in the almost eighteen years of the combined ministry of Love Wins.:LGBT. Trinity Family Midtown Church of the Nazarene, and the Loved to Love Resourcing Conference.
With that said, drumroll please…
We are overjoyed to announce that as of June 1, 2023, Love Wins.:LGBT, Trinity Family Midtown Church of the Nazarene, and the Loved to Love Conference are now…
Loved to Love: Church ∙ Outreach ∙ Conference
Here is why we are making this change and what this change means to our combined ministry…
After much prayer, reflection, research and consultation, we believe that the names Love Wins.:LGBT and Trinity Family Midtown Church of the Nazarene have served their purpose so as we move into a new era of ministry, we believe now is the time for a new identity that better reflects our core values and mission to make Christlike disciples in the LGBTQ+ community, equip Wesleyan-Holiness Churches to make Christlike disciples in the LGBTQ+ community, and explains our primary focus of doing such work in our Midtown, Kansas City location as we seek to make Christlike disciples there.
We believe the name Loved to Love helps us to further embody and explain our commitment to the Scriptural call to love as Christ has loved us (1 John 4:19) while also underscoring both the connectedness and individuality of all three vital aspects of our work.
Although all three ministries combined will have one singular group name each ministry also now has its own logo and ministry fund meaning those who contribute regularly to our work can rest assured that their dedicated contribution goes to the specific work they intend it to go to.
As a result of all the changes we have mentioned so far Love Wins.:LGBT will now be known as Loved to Love Outreach and will use purple heavily in its branding and related content.
Trinity Family Midtown Church of the Nazarene will now be known as Loved to Love Church of the Nazarene and will use red heavily in its branding and related content.
The Loved to Love Resourcing Conference will keep its name but gets a new logo and will use green heavily in its branding and related content.
The overall entity logo will combine all three colors in its branding and related content.
A full presentation on these new logos and why the colors red, purple, and green were chosen will come within the next two weeks we share more updates on the effects of our new identity and how it will all work. (Yes, during General Assembly. You have to have something to read in the down time during all the activities, right? 😉)
We understand that change can bring questions, and we aim to address them thoroughly during this roll out.
At the end of the next two weeks of explanatory updates we will provide a summary to ensure everyone is up to date.
Please note that the complete transition to our new name will take some time. We estimate that the full transition will be completed by July 1st as the various things required to make such a complete transition takes differing times.
Finally, we want to emphasize that no matter our name, one thing will remain constant: our unwavering belief that Love. Always. Wins.
Thank you for your unwavering support and participation in our ministry. Together, let us embrace this exciting chapter and work hand in hand to create a world filled with brand new Christlike disciples!
Oh, and remember…
Love. Always. Wins.

Loved to Love: Church ∙ Outreach ∙ Conference
