Our mission is to mobilize local churches to transform lives and communities in the Name of Christ.
Description
Love In the Name of Christ is a faith-based nonprofit 501(c)3 that partners with 49 local churches offering people in need help aimed at transformation and freedom in the Name of Christ so they can overcome poverty. We offer resources by participation, basic life skills, and relationship building. Love INC of Brevard is one of over 130 affiliates in 30 states in the U.S., helping over 1 million people yearly by more than 9,000 churches, 6,000 community agencies, and 300,000 volunteers. Our first international affiliate opened in 2015 in Nairobi, Kenya, and has grown to seven affiliates.
How Does Love INC Work? The heart of Love INC is the CH Call Center. Volunteers receive help requests, conduct intakes, action plans and journey with clients to freedom from poverty and brokenness. Love INC identifies gaps in services and resources and helps churches develop ministries to fill those gaps including Service Projects, Budget Mentoring, Career Mentoring, Personal Care Pantry, and Counseling services.
Why Love INC? Love In the Name of Christ enables churches in a community to pool their resources and services so that people in need are not turned away. As churches join together to show Christ's love to their neighbors, communities see exciting results:
People in need receive help from Christians using their gifts and talents.
Local churches work together modeling unity in the Body of Christ, and lives change.
