our mission

Our mission is to mobilize local churches to transform lives and communities In the Name of Christ.
As Christians, we are called to show the love of Christ to those with needs. It is only through the love of Christ, living in and reflected by His people, that lives burdened and broken by the world, can be transformed into wholeness. Community and government organizations operating independently do not always have adequate resources to meet the growing levels of need. Most churches also cannot deal with all the complex issues of poverty alone. It takes a faith community working together, across denominational lines, to meet the multifaceted needs of people challenged by economic, health, social and/or emotional crises. This is the ground on which Love INC was created. Love INC of Benton County is part of a nationwide network of Love INC affiliates, one of ten in Oregon, one of more than 130 nationwide.

Our Statement of Faith

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
  • We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
