Uniting Churches to Help Neighbors in Need

The local church is God’s answer to community brokenness and a part of his plan of redemption and restoration. That’s why we mobilize local churches to offer a holistic approach to caring for people in all areas of life: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.
WHO WE ARE

Our Mission

Love INC exists to mobilize the local Church to transform lives and communities in the Name of Christ.

The church doorstep is a common destination for those in need. But most churches alone cannot fully meet the needs of every homeless family, unemployed father, single mom, hungry child or senior citizen.

Love INC enables churches in a community to coordinate their resources and services, so people in need are not turned away. This is a great opportunity for churches to come together to transform lives and communities in the Name of Christ!

Love INC-Big Woods was established in 2009 and services the towns of Buffalo, Hanover, Maple Lake and Annandale, in Wright County, MN. Currently we represent 20 local churches who work together to show Christ’s love to our neighbors in need.

Better Together

We help churches help people by developing a network of local churches and connecting them with opportunities to serve their neighbors in need. Sometimes that can look like helping with food, personal needs items, furniture, transportation, or a work project. Other times, it looks like offering educational classes, providing mentorship support, and hosting community events. But it’s always about each church leaning into its strengths and working together with others—because we are better together.

Join Us

In every community, people possess gifts and talents that can be used for ministry, yet they often don’t know how to connect with neighbors who are in need of those skills. Love INC helps churches mobilize their members to reach out to their neighbors in need, by creating specific, manageable opportunities that utilize the unique skills and talents of their congregation to fill unmet needs in the community.
