Luvability Ministries is seeking a dynamic Executive Director to spearhead our next level of growth.

For 27 years in Michiana, Luvability has been devoted to fostering Christian community for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), alongside their families and caregivers.

Through partnerships with donors, churches, and businesses, we establish welcoming and inclusive spaces that nurture opportunities for worship, fellowship, growth, and service.

Luvability is embarking on an exciting journey of growth, sustainability, and unwavering commitment to enriching lives.
