Love INC of Sheboygan County formed to mobilize local Christian churches to transform lives and communities through relationships In the Name of Christ. Love In the Name of Christ (INC) is a proven model with affiliates operating across the United States and Kenya. We help break the cycle of chronic need by listening to each individual's story in order to understand the root causes of every situation. We aim to transform lives, one by one, by modeling faith, hope, joy, and LOVE. Love INC offers an opportunity for individuals facing difficult situations to thrive in life by connecting them with caring individuals who will model our Christian beliefs. In Sheboygan County, we operate three ministry modes that build upon one another with services and resources--the Clearinghouse Ministry call center, the Gap Ministry programs of products and services, and Transformational Ministry life-skills classes. The Clearinghouse is the starting point where individuals are connected by phone to caring and trained volunteers. During the call, volunteers will listen carefully to your story and ask questions to better understand your situation. They will gather pertinent information, pray with you, and discuss how our church and community partners might be able to assist. You will be given choices as to how you want to proceed, and you will fully participate in the action steps designed to assist you. We begin our work by verifying each situation with your permission. This verification process is an important step to ensure that we use discernment regarding the use of resources God has provided through our partner churches. Love INC does not provide direct financial service nor is Love INC an emergency service organization. Our partners are area churches and organizations that have a commitment to walk as Christ did, giving hope and the promise of new life. You can find your way with a little help from your friends through Love INC.
