”Little Children, let us stop just saying we love people; let us really love them and show it by our actions.”
1 John 3:18
Our Mission + Vision
Love INC of East Multnomah County will be one of more than a hundred Love INC locations across the United States and Kenya, who partner with over 7,800 Christian churches to serve hundreds of thousands of people in need.
Our local Love INC serves families who reside in East Multnomah County or attend one of our Love INC partner churches. For our purposes, our service area coincides with Multnomah County District 4.
How do we serve? By mobilizing local churches to transform lives and communities In the Name of Christ. Here’s why that works:
Without Love INC
Churches serve their communities in different ways. One area may have a financial literacy program, while another has housing assistance. Yet, when care is not coordinated, needs can be overlooked or duplicated, and people are not served in a holistic manner.
With Love INC
Love INC fosters collaboration and organizes holistic care to help churches serve their neighbors through resources and relationships. By networking churches together, each church is able to lean into their strengths, knowing that their neighbors will be cared for by the body of Christ within their community.
Christian churches from across at least six denominations partner together to form a local Love INC. Within these partnerships, Love INC serves as the scaffolding upon which greater growth is possible. However, it is the Christians in these churches who model Christ’s love and answer God’s call to serve. Working together as the body of Christ, we can best love and serve our community.
