Love in Action Community Ministries is a church in Battle Creek, Michigan - celebrating our 10th anniversary as a church.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: In February 2016, God called us to take the gospel beyond the walls and into the world.
Our goal is to partner with already existing ministries in the community of Battle Creek. Each of the twelve apostles had a different aspect of ministry, and so do each of us. We will complement each other.
We believe the Word of God isn’t meant to stay inside the church. It’s meant to be lived, shared, and demonstrated every day. Through service, outreach, and compassion, we strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community: living the Word in both word and deed.
We are more than a church within four walls, we are a community movement of love in action.
Who are We?
Our leadership is helmed by Pastor John Boyd and his wife, Stephanie "Lady B" Boyd who have been married for 32 years. They have a loving family consisting of 4 biological children and 6 grandchildren
(3 girls and 2 boys). Family is a value that is important to them. Pastor John encourages everyone who can join us for Sunday Morning Worship, we start at 11am. Come as you are!
Pastor Boyd started his journey as a young child under the Pastor-ship of Dr. Willie T. Taylor at Shiloh Baptist Church. For over 11 years, Pastor Boyd and his family were involved in meaningful ministry at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Kalamazoo, MI under the leadership of his Pastor, Dr. Addis Moore.
Since pastoring Love in Action, Pastor Boyd says “Our prayer is to be a church serving our present world through God’s word. Love plus obedience equals victory every time. We can’t just talk love, we’ve got to live love, we must see a real Jesus in our world.” Pastor John encourages everyone who can join us for Sunday Morning Worship, we start at 11am. Come as you are!
