Connecting churches for effective, relational outreach
Every day in any given community, people are struggling with spiritual, physical, emotional, relational, and/or material needs.
Within the same community, churches are called by God to care for their neighbors, share resources, invest relationally, and show the love of Christ. Yet, no one church can meet all of these multifaceted needs, nor should they be expected to. It takes collaboration across denominational lines and among the community.
For over 45 years, Love INC has helped connect the calling of local churches to the struggles of the community in a way that is collaborative and holistic. It’s already happening in over 110 communities across 29 states, and it could happen in yours.
We believe the local church is God’s answer to community brokenness and a part of His plan of redemption and restoration.
Local churches are drawn closer to Christ’s heart when they follow his example and calling to care for people in need. Therefore, we mobilize local churches to offer Redemptive Compassion®, a holistic approach to caring for people in all areas of life: spiritual, mental, emotional, relational, material, and physical.
