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.

“Love INC’s partnership of churches has been one of the most valuable things that we’ve seen to facilitate the love of Jesus to the lost and hurting in our community. It goes way beyond meeting personal needs to meeting the heartbeat of Jesus.”
Pastor HasemeyerMillersburg, Ohio
“Love INC brought about a huge transformation in our church. I hadn’t realized that it would change our church just as much as those we served in the community. We have more people in ministry today than ever before.”
Pastor TweedieBrighton, Michigan
“There are over 50 churches in our small rural country who are partnered together through Love INC. There’s no other ministry in our county that even comes close to that kind of cooperation.”
Pastor ConnGreater Holmes County, Ohio
“Love INC has helped church members think outside themselves and understand that there are people in need all around them—maybe even right next to them. Love INC helps our church remain outwardly focused.”

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.
