Missional Classes

Missional Classes are learning environments where followers of Christ can broaden and deepen their understanding of better serving and and understanding our community. Love Inc is uniquely positioned to build bridges among diverse people and churches in the Cedar Valley. We are encouraged to bring together individuals of various ages, genders, races and socio-economic statuses to discuss important topics that can help us serve better.

Redemptive Classes

This class helps Christians in our community explore a biblical philosophy on how we can offer holistic help to these in need. 

This class is geared toward the Christian who wants to give to those in need more effectively and for the Christian who is reluctant to give because of past experiences. Maybe you have asked yourself questions like:

  • Should I help a family member that asks for financial assistance?
  • What about the person with a sign on the street corner, should I give them money?
  • How should the Church respond to needs in our community?

Redemptive Compassion will help participants develop a thought process regarding giving – specifically, giving that transforms the lives of the helper and the one in need of help. It challenges many current and common ways of addressing need by moving away from offering a “hand-out” to giving people a “hand-up”.
