Black Hills Baptist Church in Whitewood has been a faithful presence in the community for 42 years, committed to making disciples who "Read, Pray, and Serve in Obedience to Christ.” Under the leadership of Pastor Sean, who has served for 14 years, the church continues to grow in its mission to share the love of Christ in the Northern Hills. Recently, they launched a small group strategy aimed at deepening relationships and better reaching their neighbors with the gospel. Partnering with Love INC Sturgis, Black Hills Baptist emphasizes compassion, collaboration, and transformation—seeking not only to meet physical needs but to foster lasting spiritual change through Christ-centered service.

Mobilize Local Churches
At Love INC, we believe the Church is God’s answer to community need—and we’re passionate about helping churches live that out. One of the ways we do this is by creating simple, meaningful opportunities for church members to use their unique gifts to serve others. Whether it’s delivering furniture, answering phones, mentoring someone in crisis, or just offering a listening ear, we help churches connect their people with real needs in the community. Volunteering through Love INC isn’t just about meeting physical needs—it’s about building relationships, restoring dignity, and being part of someone’s journey toward transformation. It’s a powerful way for churches to be the hands and feet of Jesus right here in our neighborhoods.
