Section 2 (AKA About)

Love in Action provides twenty-seven individual services through area churches, all of which are made possible through financial contributions, volunteer hours, and other resources by our network of churches and the Tri-Cities Community.
Love in Action is a ministry that works with a network of church partners, volunteers, and partner organizations to help our neighbors in need. We do this through many different programs, all of which are designed to offer a hand-up, and not a hand-out. 

Sub-Section 2


We believe in the potential of each individual and seek to help people by not only meeting their needs but helping them discover their God-given gifts and abilities. Our mission is to encourage, educate, and empower individuals and families, serving as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.

WELCOME FROM OUR NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR - JOSH BYTWERK

It is an amazing honor to reach out as the new Executive Director of Love in Action. I am thrilled to be serving a ministry that I have cared for over many years.  I came to LIA as a staff member three years ago during a time of difficult transition in my life although I had previously served as a volunteer in the first housing ministry.  LIA took me on as Operations Director with the opportunity to lead the food ministries and the donation-processing center.  In this role, I have experienced first-hand the grace that flows through the people that come together here each week.  Every day at Love in Action is a blessing, changing the lives of clients but also of volunteers and staff like myself.

So a little about my family and me.  My wife Shelby and I have been married for 17 years and have three children, Sophie, Maggie and Noah.  We live in Ferrysburg along with four turtles, a dozen fish, and a rotation of other living creatures.  If you’ve attended a volunteer picnic over the past three years, you may have been to our place.  I have a passion for ministry that tears down barriers and empowers transformation.  Each step of my way, which has included pastoring churches in the Tri-Cities and on the East Coast and working administratively for a financial services company, I have been given the chance to see the difference that groups of people can make while working together. 

I love teamwork and constantly believe that together we are far better than the sum-total we would be if working apart.
I am excited to see what we can accomplish together combining the resources of hundreds of volunteers and donors, a community that cares and a passionate staff that is constantly looking to improve our process.  We have much to be hopeful for!
