Welcome to LiNC
We will never change the world by going to church.
We will change the world by BEING the church.
About Us
LiNC was born out of a dream to unite followers of Jesus from different denominations, non-denominations and backgrounds in Western Nevada County in a common purpose: to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community. The founders of this movement accomplished this by creating Community Serve Events that served local non-profits, municipalities, schools, and others.
These Community Serve Events began in 2016, but have been dormant for a few years. We're bringing them BACK! All followers of Jesus are invited to join us as we unite to serve and love on our community together. Let's BE the church in ACTION!

I'm unable to participate in LiNC Community Serve Events. How can I support the work of LiNC?
LiNC is able to organize and promote these Community Serve Events by the gracious support we receive from local congregations and individuals. The costs related to this are: web hosting fees, Sign Up Genius yearly fee, snacks for volunteers at the projects sites, purchasing t-shirts for the volunteers, renting equipment when needed for a project, etc. These funds are being stewarded by Abundant Life Community Church (ALCC) in Grass Valley. ALCC has been an active supporter and participating congregation since LiNC's inception in 2016. An accounting of these funds is available at any time upon request. If you would like to help support the LiNC Community Serve Events, please use the link below (coming soon!). 100% of this support goes directly to the Community Serve Events. Everyone leading LiNC and everyone serving at the Community Serve Events are volunteers. Have questions? Please email us linccommunityserve@gmail.com
