Rationale

LinC provides a non-threatening way for individual Christians to use their skills, gifts and resources to show love in action in their community. This response to unmet social needs, offered with “no strings attached”, gives church members the opportunity to put their faith and love to work in concrete ways.

Unemployment, redundancies, forced early retirements, a greater demand on state and federal funding in the human services areas underline the urgent need for increased involvement of churches in their local communities. The church, Christ’s body on earth, has all the resources and gifts needed to make a difference in local communities.
