About Greater Holmes County

Our mission and vision

Love INC of Greater Holmes County 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 Greater Holmes County or attend one of our Love INC partner churches. How? By mobilizing local churches to transform lives and communities In the Name of Christ. Here’s why that works:

The Holmes County Ministerial Association (HCMA) was introduced to the concept of Love INC back in 2013. This group of pastors were brainstorming ways on how to best help and make an impact in the lives of those struggling here in our community. The heart was to walk with families in ways that make a transforming difference. When the model of Love INC was described to them, they were excited to pursue forming a Love INC affiliate here in Holmes County, and see how the churches in the community could work together to make even more of a difference.

HCMA donated the funds to get the process started, and in November, 2014, our Connection Center opened, and the phones began to ring. More and more churches and more and more volunteers continue to join together and serve beautifully as the hands and feet of Jesus here in Holmes County.

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.

Our Partner Churches

Christian churches from across at least six denominations 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.
