The Reality

Every day there are neighbors in need within our communities.

Neighbors that are fighting to make ends meet, struggling to rise above their addictions, or lost in isolation with no support system.

Neighbors that need redemption and restoration.

The Call of the Church

Every day, churches are called. Called to see the image of God in others. Called to care about their neighbors. Called to share resources. Called to walk with those who are hurting. Called in invest in relationships.

Called to transform lives and communities.

Love INC helps connect the calling of local churches to the struggles of the community.

What Does Church Partnership Look Like?

It Looks Like Love INC:

-Assisting churches in going beyond benevolence to offer holistic, relational care to those outside of their own congregation.

-Decreasing church administrative efforts by providing a central location for receiving and reviewing requests for assistance.

-Identifying new ministry opportunities to meet gaps in community help and services.

-Coordinating long-term, self-help solutions for those with chronic need.

-Helping the community and churches lean into their strengths and work together as one body of Christ.

It Looks Like Churches

-Living out the two greatest commandments to love God and to love their neighbors.

-Leveraging their strengths and engaging the God-given gifts and resources of their congregation in the service of others.

-Providing specific, tangible opportunities for their congregation to exercise and grow in their faith.

-Committing to their community by referring needs to Love INC, encouraging volunteerism, and participating in the financial support of this shared ministry.

Our Local Church Partners

We desire to have Abundant Partnerships with all churches in our service area. All churches no matter at what stage of the relationship are asked to refer neighbors in need to Love In the Name of Christ Heartland.
