**** The LoveWorks website has experienced some recent technical difficulties. If you have any problems with your application, please let us know immediately - loveworks@pointloma.edu. Thank you! ***


Welcome to the first step in a journey of service and ministry with LoveWorks! God has used LoveWorks to bless and enrich many of our lives across the PLNU family and around the world. LoveWorks has extended our community into friendship with sisters and brothers far from Loma. We hope you have prayerfully considered what LoveWorks will require, that you have sought wisdom, and that you are prepared to move forward in faith.

Please make sure that you are fully prepared to complete the entire online application before continuing. If you would rather submit a paper application, please contact us at loveworks@pointloma.edu to request one. Remember that all applications are due by Friday November 6, 2009. If we need to ask you additional questions or meet together, we will contact you. Completing the application does not formally commit you to a team. It allows us to create teams from applicants who appear to be a good fit. Once placed on a team, you will receive a packet with further instructions on formally committing to join the team.

Teams will be announced via e-mail before Thanksgiving Recess. Formal commitments (signed Letter of Agreement) are due to our office by December 11.

LoveWorks began over twenty years ago with a kind invitation to come and partner in Kingdom service. This year we are blessed once again by the hospitality and warm welcome in the invitations we have received. In turn, it is our pleasure to extend the invitation to you.

Sincerely yours,


Brian Becker
