The Inclusive Collective (IC) is a vibrant, growing, and diverse campus ministry in Chicagoland, and one of the NIC's ministry partners. Their hub is the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), but they have students involved from several colleges in the city. 

Currently, in their seventh semester, the IC is a relaunch of a ministry that was known as Agape House. They recently held their fall retreat at Wesley Woods, where 25 young adults spent the weekend building community, worshiping and exploring prayer.

Sarah Bonilla, an IC member offered a reflection on prayer one evening during worship. "God knows me in a way I am aching to know myself. And prayer is the ongoing conversation I have with God where everything that I know and don’t are unimportant," Bonilla shared. "God is waiting to have a conversation with you, through every question, through every doubt, for the rest of your life." Click here to read the full text of her reflection.
