GAP MINISTRIES Short-term Tangible and Service Resources
Love INC helps churches build ministries to fill the gaps in services by identifying unmet needs in the community. From baby cribs to financial management classes, we help churches organize services and products to meet real needs without duplicating existing resources. Yet, what is offered is much more than products and services. Our relational approach ensures that each person is seen as an individual and offered prayer, encouragement, and ongoing connection, if they desire.
