Healthy together heals the whole P.E.R.S.O.N.
by engaging the whole church.

A person is more than their material needs and the church is more than just a Sunday gathering. Our Healthy Together program offers a holistic approach to how community members and those in the church can work together to find solutions.

A Deeper Look at Poverty

How can the simple act of generosity, giving, and serving be potentially harmful?
This short video from the Chalmers Center explains how we need to take deeper look into “how” we help people who live in poverty.

HEALTHY HELPING

As a church community, we have a responsibility to help those in need. However, some churches offer services that keep low-resource individuals in a continued state of poverty. Sometimes our “helping” isn’t “healthy.”

“Healthy Helping” is Love INC’s philosophy for transforming the lives of those trapped in poverty, using biblical principles.

Our partners learn the biblical framework on poverty and how to be a part of the solution during our “Healthy Helping” training. We have real conversations to work toward real solutions.

Training is currently available the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

HEALTHY HABITS

Transformation can be achieved through the collaboration of communities striving for a common and desired outcome. Our neighbors can benefit from acquiring new healthy habits through our weekly classes. These habits are further reinforced by building new relationships within our community, and with the help of our dedicated mentors.

Neighbors in our community learn valuable life-skills and find a supportive companion to guide them towards positive changes in their lives.

Throughout the program, our neighbors will learn healthy decision-making skills and create healthy boundaries through three foundational classes and additional elective classes that will be coming in the near future.

Churches and neighbors are collaborating to improve the well-being of our communities.

HEALTHY HELPING TRAINING

“Healthy Helping” is Love INC’s approach to transforming the lives of those who are stuck in cycles of poverty with the help of biblical principles. Together, we can provide a better way of helping those in need. Helping people escape poverty requires a lot of effort and dedication. You can learn how to be a part of the redemptive process that can change a person’s life.

What to expect:
During our time together, we will discuss the best practices for serving individuals that have limited resources. We will use videos and group discussions to learn how to address poverty-related issues without causing harm to the individual or church members. We will also provide a strong roadmap for building a healthier community. One of the tools we use is “Redemptive Compassion,” which we will explain in detail.

The training is scheduled from 9 am to 12 pm second Wednesday of each month.

Healthy Habits Program

Healthy Habits is the response of the local church to community brokenness.

Through education and relationships with individuals like yourselves, this program helps our neighbors:

  • Develop crucial life skills
  • Build support networks
  • Gain financial freedom
  • Strengthen their faith

The Healthy Habits program is run by a cooperation of more than a dozen churches in Clackamas County and provides a space for our neighbors to evaluate their current life and take steps to live the life God has called them to.

The next session of this course is launching in September of 2025. Click the button below if you are interested in participating in or helping with the program.
