Global Help Made Local

Love INC of Treasure Valley is 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 Treasure Valley or attend one of our Love INC partner churches. How? By mobilizing local churches to transform lives and communities In the Name of Christ.

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 may not be 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.

Our Partner Churches

Christian churches from across the community partner together to form a 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.

What We Believe

The Apostles’ Creed as our unifying statement of faith:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
*In the Apostles’ Creed, the word “catholic” here refers to the worldwide church. 
It is not a reference to the Roman Catholic church.
 
Statement on Scripture:
We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, inspired, sufficient, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; Isaiah 40:8; Psalm 119:89, 160.) As such, we identify only the Bible as Holy Scripture. Love INC acknowledges, as do Christian churches of all traditions, that the canon* is closed, thereby excluding any additional writings from the past or present.
*We recognize the Old Testament canon is defined differently among Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox traditions. Nevertheless, all three traditions hold that Scripture consists of only the Old and New Testaments, and that the canon is closed.
 
Statement on Sexuality:
We believe healthy and holy sexuality (including matters of gender identity as well as sexual expression and activity) is the expectation for all believers as revealed in the Word of God (Genesis 1:27-28; 2:18-25; 5:2; Psalm 139:13; Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:6-8; Ephesians 5:22-33).
