About Us

In One Accord Ministries, Inc.

We have left the umbrella of Love INC due to changes at their corporate level and have a new name (In One Accord Ministries, Inc.) with the same services to assist local residents in Bedford County. Our telephone numbers are the same; only our name has changed!

News

For those of you who couldn’t make it to The In One Accord Ministries Banquet, we prayed for the  purchase of the Kelly Building to be used as the next “Seek and Find Shoppe”.  The day after the     Banquet, some Board Members and I met with Mr. Highlands regarding the purchase of  the building.  During that time, it was agreed we would pay half of the appraisal of the property which was $88,000.00 and the other portion would be donated to the Ministry.  Some time passed and the   Highlands’ decided to donate $52,800.00 of the property value which left 35,2000.00 that the Ministry would pay to the Highlands’.  The paperwork was signed for the purchase of the property on January 31, 2025  by our Board President, John Murtagh.  The Highlands’ are currently in Florida so we await the return of the paperwork with their signatures to seal the deal.

Zane and Vicki Highlands have allowed us to use the Kelly Building located at 75 State Street for several years, at no cost to the Ministry, after the loss of the Seek and Find Shoppe for Garage Sales.  This has been a great blessing to us because funds raised through these sales benefit our community family needs.  The Highlands’ have been so generous with the Ministry, now and in the past, because they donated the property where we had the fire and where the pole building remains.  The pole building is used for warehousing furniture, bedding, larger medical equipment, appliances, etc.  Without their help, I am not sure where the Ministry would be today.  Their generosity continues to overwhelm me as does God’s goodness.

The Kelly building appraised at $88,000.00 and the Highlands’ donated $52,800.oo of that to the Ministry which allowed us to purchase the property for $35,000.00. The insurance money is certainly coming in handy at this time.  Soooo….get ready for the next renovation adventure!  We will definitely need your help to move forward.  Stay tuned!!!
