Purpose
God is using Love Life to awaken the church. This isn't prolife activism. It is Christianity 101. It is loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. Whole families are being moved from inside the four walls of the church into the frontlines of the mission field in their cities.
Mission statement
Love Life is uniting and mobilizing the church to create a culture of love and life that will result in an end to abortion and the orphan crisis.

History
"My journey began in 2012 when friends took me to a local abortion center to show me the atrocity taking place in our city. When I heard the tragic truths of abortion, I was shocked and sad to see so few actively doing anything about it. The Holy Spirit convicted me of my own lack of action and I knew that needed to change. After much prayer, He downloaded a strategy in my heart to end abortion in Charlotte by uniting and mobilizing the Church." -- Justin Reeder
