Ministry Partners
Acting with God to Co-Create a Better World
Learning to live and love like Jesus for a lifetime is a journey that extends far beyond our walls, calling us to partner with organizations that are committed to co-creating a better, more loving world. Below you will find local and global partners who share our commitment to bring compassion and hope to a hurting world.
Local Ministry Partners
Incarnation significantly provides volunteer service and steady donations to these ministry partners in response to Jesus’ call to feed the hungry, clothe and shelter people, and empower people for new life.
Over 805 million people go hungry on any given day worldwide. In the United States, where there is poverty, there is also hunger. The people of Incarnation believe that it is important to address hunger issues on a variety of fronts – tending to the immediate need of providing food and resources for people in crisis as well as working to address the root causes of hunger.

Global Mission
At Incarnation, we believe that relationships are at the heart of our ministry. We believe that God calls us to live in relationship with our neighbors who may live right next door or around the world and that as these relationships grow, they reflect God’s relationship with us and with the world that God so loves.

Bega Kwa Bega is the phrase we use to describe our companion synod relationship with the Iringa Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania. In English, the phrase means “shoulder to shoulder” and describes how we accompany one another through prayer, presence, and projects.
