Our mission is to mobilize the church
to transform lives and communities
In the Name of Christ.
We are one of more than 140 local Love INC chapters in the USA.
The NWRC chapter is in its third year of serving the communities of
Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada,
Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, Roseville and Shoreview.
