Together, we’re on a mission to mobilize local churches to transform lives and communities In the Name of Christ. Here’s how:
To see Christian churches united in purpose and fully engaged in actively living out their faith by lovingly serving people in need in their communities.
To mobilize local churches to transform lives and communities In the Name of Christ.
When a neighbor has a need, they call Love INC. What’s the first thing they’ll hear? The voice of a caring, well equipped volunteer from one of our partner churches. A volunteer who will take the time to listen and care for the person calling with compassion and discernment; who will inquire about the presenting need, but also explore the broader context of the person’s situation.
Why? Because everything we do revolves around relationships. Love INC isn’t about transactions and checking off boxes. We want transformation for our neighbors, in our churches, and in our communities.
In every community, neighbors with needs are surrounded by Christians with skills and resources, who are called to help. Love INC helps churches provide holistic care for their neighbors by coordinating specific, manageable opportunities that mobilize the resources, gifts, and relationships of their congregations. Providing things like furniture, life skills and money management classes, as well as referrals to food pantries. Love INC helps churches work across denominational lines to meet the tangible and intangible needs of their community.
But don‘t get us wrong, this isn‘t a one-way street. It‘s a process that requires mutual participation because our goal isn‘t about meeting needs as much as it‘s about meeting a person where they‘re at and helping them achieve their God-given potential.
Love INC fosters collaboration and organizes holistic care to help churches serve their neighbors through resources and relationships.
When care is not coordinated, needs can be overlooked or duplicated, and people are not served in a holistic manner.

The Love INC ministry model is relational, because we believe Christ-like relationships are transformative.
When Love INC flourishes in a community, healthy relationships grow, Christian love thrives, and struggling neighbors receive support, friendship, and the kind of practical help they need. Love In the Name of Christ’s Relational Ministry model can be expressed in four interconnected ways or “modes.” We call these modes:
The local Love INC Connection Center is the foundation of the Love INC ministry. It is also the first opportunity we have to begin to listen to and care for people while exploring ways for churches to be helpful. The Connection Center receives requests for help, screens the requests, verifies the need, and then refers the request to a local church ministry, church volunteer, or community agency. After people are helped the Connection Center follows up to ensure the need was met and to offer continued spiritual support.
Love INC helps churches build ministries to fill the gaps in services by identifying unmet needs in the community. From baby cribs to financial management classes, we help churches organize services and products to meet real needs without duplicating existing resources. Yet, what is offered is much more than products and services, our relational approach ensures that each person is seen as an individual and offered prayer, encouragement, and ongoing connection.
Love INC desires to help people holistically to achieve longer-term goals. We do this through our Transformational Ministry. This involves organizing and equipping church members to offer weekly classes and mentoring. Some Transformational Ministry programs are just a couple of months long, and others extend to over a year. Our Transformational Ministry programming provides people with knowledge/skills training, goal setting, emotional support, and spiritual encouragement along with the church and community resources available through the Love INC Connection Center and Gap Ministries.
In Community Transformational Ministry, a local Love INC, on behalf of their partner churches, actively engages local governments and becomes an advocate for developing community-wide solutions that incorporate developmental compassion and preserve the dignity of people being served in a Christ-like and God-honoring way.
Love INC is a partnership of diverse local churches, so rather than focus on theological or doctrinal differences, we focus our shared belief in Christ as our savior, and use the Apostles’ Creed as our unifying statement of faith.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day He rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen
