Why do churches need Love INC?

Jesus gave us the great commission to love one another. Love INC helps you turn that love into action. Many people never find an appropriate place to serve within their church. Love INC uses all the skills and talents a congregation has to offer. Time and again, Love INC volunteers tell how this type of service to others enriches and changes their life.

The church doorstep is a frequent destination for people in need. But most churches alone cannot fully meet all the needs of every homeless family, single mom, or elderly shut-in who asks them for help.

Love In the Name of Christ enables churches in a community to pool their resources and services so that those in need are not turned away.

  • Families in need receive immediate and long-term help.
  • Church members use their gifts and talents through legitimate, specific, manageable opportunities to serve others.
  • Local churches come together, across denominational lines, modeling unity of the Body of Christ.
  • Lives and communities are transformed.

Imagine the difference churches can make by joining with other churches in their community to help those in need. When the Body of Christ works together, the results can be miraculous.

Do churches with differing doctrines participate in the same network?

Yes. As a matter of fact, Love INC of the valley has 48 churches from over 20 denominations and currently has over 60 Christian denominations participating nationwide. Do you believe God calls your church to minister to the poor in your community? Are there individuals in your congregation who want to be involved in ministry or become a church ministry coordinator? Churches that answer yes to these basic questions are on common ground. And that's enough to begin a successful collaboration.

  • Screens requests for help as to nature, extent, and legitimacy.
  • Helps prevent church duplication of existing services already available in the community.
