About Cleveland Ministry Collective
Connecting Northeast Ohio ministries through collaboration, coordination, and community. Building bridges where faith meets action.
About Us
Lauren Cuevas and Brian Dahlen first crossed paths while working at Moody Bible Institute, Lauren as a gifted event planner and Brian as a seasoned morning radio host in Cleveland. What began as a professional collaboration quickly became a creative partnership rooted in trust, vision, and a shared calling.
Drawing from our shared passion for local ministry in Northeast Ohio, we launched Cleveland Ministry Collective to amplify and come alongside the voices of ministries doing the faithful, often unseen work of being the hands and feet of Jesus.
Together, we seek to platform the work God is doing in our region—elevating authentic stories, fostering unity, and encouraging those serving our communities in Christ's name.
A Partnership Rooted in Faith
From professional collaboration to creative partnership, Lauren and Brian bring together their unique gifts and shared vision to serve the Northeast Ohio ministry community through authentic connection and faithful service.
