We at Love INC enjoy being part of helping the churches meet the basic needs of families in our community. Even more than that, we are grateful to have the opportunity to connect people with Christians who can in turn introduce them to Jesus Christ – who is the greatest gift of all. We hope and pray that the ministry of Love INC will give people a little glimpse of Jesus’ love so that they will truly want to know Him and will ultimately choose to receive Him as their Lord and Savior. We feel very blessed to join with the churches in this effort. To Jesus Christ be all the glory!

Love INC is not a “handout”. Our primary objective is always to assist people to move towards self-sufficiency where possible. We want to educate our clients about all they can do for themselves and all they can do with their lives in service to others, as well. We take this position for a number of reasons. First, we believe it supports the dignity of the person seeking help. Secondly, we believe it is irresponsible to perpetuate a cycle of helplessness. Thirdly, we believe it to be good stewardship. We want to ‘teach people to fish rather than give them the fish’. We want to be the bridge for people into both a better spiritual life and one of economic self-sufficiency.
