ABOUT: LOVE Wichita
Our Vision
To seek the peace and prosperity of Wichita believing that our city will be forever changed, one life at a time.
How did LOVE Wichita begin?
LOVE Wichita began in 2009 as a vision of Eastminster Church in collaboration with Mayor Carl Brewer for a faith-based day of service to seek the prosperity of our city.
The event grew strong its first year and a total of 20 churches completed 150 projects.
In 2011, more than 40 churches worked together on 300+ projects. The vision has now grown to include churches of all denominations and walks of life to serve together for the good of our city.
