There is no Love in the Name of Christ in Gallatin
County without church volunteers. Love INC's work is accomplished
through volunteer service, offered freely in the Name of Christ.
Love INC volunteers are members of local Christian
churches. Almost all volunteers belong to Love INC partner
churches, although a few people who have volunteered for Love INC are
members of other local churches.
Love INC, in partnership with local churches, offers a
wide variety of opportunities for volunteer service. Look, for
example, at the upper left hand corner of this page - that's a Love INC
volunteer tutoring two children... one area of service for our
volunteers.
We offer four types of volunteer service
opportunities:
If you volunteer for Clearinghouse-related service,
you would respond to one person's specific need, as it is referred to you
by the Love INC Clearinghouse office. In essence, this means that
you let your Church Contact Person or the Love INC
office know, via a Talent Tithe, that you
are willing to provide certain specific services
for someone in need. Then, if and when someone calls Love INC
with that need, you may receive a call to respond. With
Clearinghouse-related service, there is no guarantee that you WILL be
called upon; you place your offered skills into our "inventory"
and we may call upon you if and when the need arises.
If you volunteer for Ministry Project service,
you will become involved with a ministry activity that is on-going over
time. You will work with others on the project in a team
atmosphere. You may have contact with a person in need or you may
work in a "support" capacity, depending on your desires.
Some projects occur periodically for a short period of time; others are
continuous. You can choose your degree of involvement. Check
our list of ministry projects for more
information.
If you volunteer for Love INC office service, you
will work in our office in one of many possible
capacities. Possibilities include administrative work,
computer work, phone work, courier service and more. Job
descriptions are available; time commitments vary. Office
volunteers make the ministry to clients and communication with churches a
reality!
To volunteer for Love INC Board or Committee service,
please contact the Love INC office. You will be interviewed by the
Love INC Leadership Committee. Love INC Board
membership is limited in size, and is comprised of individuals from
partner churches who have specific gifts, talents and professional
expertise needed for board governance.
Please check our listing of services for a
description of areas where volunteers can serve
their neighbors through the ministry of Love INC. Remember, Love INC
relies wholly upon volunteers to serve Gallatin County residents in need -
we have no staff to meet these needs; it is all done by Christians who
desire to manifest the love of Christ on behalf of others.
