RELATIONAL MINISTRY

The Love INC Relational Ministry program is a place where Love INC clients (mentees) attend a 2 hour class each week for 8-12 weeks on various topics. These topics facilitate transformation from a poverty mentality to a freedom in Christ mindset. The first 45 minutes is a classroom format. During the last 45 minutes of each week's class, clients (mentees) spend time one-on-one with a volunteer mentor.

Classes are held Tuesday nights, from 6-8 PM.

Women's Transitional Living Program

The mission of the Women's Transitional Living Program is to provide women with a safe home and opportunities to achieve stability.

Studies show that lasting life transformation happens when people engage in new relationships that model health and mutual respect. The consistent presence of a varied pool of Christ followers in the lives of the women we serve is powerful when combined with the positive case management Love INC staff provides.

The Women's Transitional Living Program provides opportunities for Christians to put feet to their faith and use their God-given gifts, talents, and resources to make a difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
