Mission

Our mission is to mobilize local churches to transform lives and communities In the Name of Christ.

Vision

Nationally: Our vision is to see Christian churches united in purpose and fully engaged in actively living out their faith by lovingly serving people in need in their communities.

Locally: Our vision is a partnership of churches networking our community to transform the lives of people in need, and those serving them, through relationships.

Statement on Scripture

Love In the Name of Christ identifies only the Old Testament and the New Testament, commonly known as 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 believe all Christians must pursue holiness and resist sin in belief and practice (Rom. 6:11-12).

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He 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 and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the one holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Amen.

Core Values

(Matt. 5:16; Phil 2:14–16; 1 Thess. 5:22)
  1. We are Christian. Everything we think, say, and do is in the name of Christ.
  2. Prayer is an integral part of who we are.
  3. We follow Christ’s example of valuing those in need.
  4. We value unity of the Body of Christ.

Core Beliefs

  1. We believe that God is the creator of all life and that mankind was created by God, in the image of God, and for God. (Gen. 1:26-27) Therefore, all human life is sacred.
  2. We believe that human life begins at conception, and that from the point of conception life in the womb shares the same God given rights and protections shared by the rest of humanity. (Jer. 1:4,5; Luke 1:15,41)
  3. We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female before birth. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image of God. (Gen. 1:26-27)
  4. We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man (male) and one woman (female) in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Gen. 2:18-25)
  5. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4) We believe that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
  6. We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom. 10:9-10; 1 Cor. 6:9-11).
  7. We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity, and that truth must be spoken in love. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of Love INC of Brevard.
