Love In the Name of Christ of the Kenai Peninsula is an inter-denominational Christian organization that works with churches and agencies in the area to assist our neighbors in need.
Our affiliate opened on November 30, 1987. We network with over 80 churches on the Kenai Peninsula, via partnering with us, or in some way being instrumental in assisting with various needs.
We are a “Clearinghouse” for agencies and church ministries on the Peninsula. What that means is when a person with a specific need calls our office, we gather information and try to direct them to the available resource, whether that is an agency like the Food Bank or a Church Ministry like a clothes closet. Many times there is a need for our client and a resource is not available or they do not qualify for other services. At this time, we have a set of parameters to determine if we should solicit assistance from a church near the person or from their preferred denomination. This is called filling the gap. Sometimes our assistance is simply listening to the person’s problem, demonstrating care, and offering prayer.
