Bringing Churches Together to Serve Des Moines

A Night of Encouragement and Vision

Attendees heard from national guests Daniel Walker and Lora Petitt from Love INC National, as well as Greg Baker from the Church Ambassador Network, who shared a compelling message about unity in the Church. The evening also included an introduction to the Love INC Des Moines Board of Directors and stories of how churches across the metro are already partnering together to meet needs in the name of Christ.

Rooted in BCI, Now Reaching Beyond

Though the Baptist Convention of Iowa helped establish Love INC Des Moines back in the 1980s, the ministry now operates independently. Still, we at BCI celebrate its ongoing mission and want to encourage more of our churches to participate. Love INC exists to unify and equip churches to respond to needs in their communities—not just through temporary help, but through relationships that bring lasting transformation and point people to Christ.

The Power of Church Partnerships

At the heart of the ministry is the Church Partner model—a formal agreement where churches commit to financially support the ministry and actively serve referred neighbors with care, compassion, and the gospel. Many churches, including Park Church, are already seeing the impact of this kind of collaborative outreach. And as Love INC continues to grow, they are actively inviting more churches to come alongside them.

How You Can Get Involved

Please pray for Love INC’s network of churches, their ongoing building renovation, and for wisdom and unity among their leadership. And if your church is interested in learning more about becoming a Love INC Church Partner, visit www.loveincdsm.org to explore next steps.
