Get Involved
There’s nothing more powerful than churches working together to transform lives and communities In the Name of Christ.

The Handyman Ministry is a dynamic ministry with many roles that provide a unique way to love our neighbors. This ministry truly walks alongside neighbors, building relationships with them through the various steps of the process:

- Move: physically move furniture and boxes into Love INC trailer and transport to new location; need at least 1 vehicle able to pull trailer along with valid driver’s license and auto insurance
